Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Purposeful activity increases self-esteem and maintains cognitive function well into older age.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The disengagement theory seems to justify ageism by proposing that there is a mutual desire between the community and the older adult to be disengaged. According to the theory, this desire apparently does not diminish self-esteem because the older adult desires to be disengaged.
