Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Gerontologists have identified a paradox of well-being among older adults, which describes the phenomenon of older adults suffering significant losses of health, cognition, and social functioning but reporting high levels of well-being and positive emotions. Metamemory, crystallized intelligence, and neuroplasticity are phenomena that are not directly related to subjective well-being and satisfaction.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, D
The cognitive reserve model suggests that cognitive abilities can be improved through participation in creative and intellectually stimulating activities, such as art, storytelling, reading, writing, group discussions, and playing musical instruments. Calisthenics, singing traditional tunes, reminiscing, and shopping are not creative and intellectually challenging.
