Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
A is the correct choice. Adult day-care programs are sponsored by, rather than sponsor, the listed groups. Such programs may provide transportation to the site but do not usually lend the equipment to others. By providing health and social services to persons with moderate physical or mental disabilities, these programs give respite to the caregivers; the caregivers themselves do not attend these programs.
