Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Women heads of households and their children are the poorest aggregate in the United States. This phenomenon is labeled the feminization of poverty. In 2005, the poverty rate for single female heads of household was 36.9 compared to 17.6 for men. Thus, married and cohabitating adults are not the group that has the highest poverty rate in the United States.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The text suggests to ask a man about how he spends his leisure time, what he is doing to take care of himself, and what his usual physical activities are. Thus, asking about his physical activities would be the most appropriate question. Asking how he knows when he is ill, the sorts of illnesses he experiences, or what his wife says about his health would not be a good opening to the conversation.
