Answer to Question 1

C
The task for old age, according to Erikson, is Integrity vs. Despair. If older adults can find meaning in the life they have lived and are living, they will have the ego integrity to adjust to the process of aging. Responses A and B are incorrect; those are the tasks of people roughly aged 6 through their 20s; response D is also incorrect; this is the task of adulthood, until age 55 to 65.

C
White patches on the oral mucosa could be leukoplakia (a precancerous lesion). Responses A, B, and D are normal aging changes of the mouth.
