Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Memory means that the immune system has the capacity to develop long-lasting protection against specific invaders. A residual set of cells that are specific to each antigen remains in the body, to be stimulated when the antigen presents itself at a later time. Each successive time the antigen is encountered, a quicker and more intense reaction is stimulated by the immune system in the healthy older person.
