Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Areas are classified as rural for populations with fewer than 45 persons per square mile and as frontier for geographic areas with fewer than six people per square mile. Many counties of the Great Plains, Intermountain West, and Alaska are designated frontier. Not all mountain areas are rural (the Appalachian mountain area is not), and geographic location alone does not make an area rural.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Nearly all definitions identify an individual as disabled on the basis of a physical or mental impairment that limits the person's ability to perform an important activity. The complementary possibilitythat the individual is limited by a barrier in society or the environmentis never considered. Advocacy groups are stressing that environment and the reactions of others are as crucial as the actual physical or mental limitation.
