B

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Bingo may seem frivolous to some residents, but for some it is as much mental stimulation as they can handle, and many people do seem to enjoy it. Although the games should continue for those who wish to play, no one should be forced to play. Reading is always a good way to spend time, but in a nursing home there are many hours to fill in that way. Most television programs are not mentally challenging. Residents who object to playing Bingo should be asked to suggest ideas for other activities; depending on their interests and abilities, they might enjoy playing chess or bridge, playing board games, or telling jokes and stories.
