Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The family fulfills two important purposes. The first is to meet the needs of society, and the second is to meet the needs of individual family members. The family meets the needs of society through procreation and socialization of family members.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The continuity theory of aging suggests that a person continues through life in a similar fashion as in previous years. Because the woman stated she is doing what she has previously done, and has not suggested any particular problems other than concern that what she is doing is acceptable behavior, she should be supported. The statement that best supports her decision states that retirement life is much like life has always been. The other statements do not support her current satisfaction with her activities in her life.
