Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Frailty refers to physical condition. Although activities like doing puzzles and reminiscing may be helpful for a person's mental condition, they do not directly benefit the person's physical condition. Weight loss may be desirable for some elderly people, but being overweight is not a step toward frailty.

Answer to Question 2

D
