Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Intergenerational activities primarily focus on fostering a sense of meaning and purpose in those involved. Establishing new relationships, increasing self-esteem of younger people, and decreas-ing isolation in older people are goals, but will occur most often when the individual has a life with purpose and meaning.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The purpose of a living legacy is to transcend death. Anatomical gifts are an example of a living legacy. Discussing war experiences is an example of a collective/group legacy. A written journal and a religious trip represent personal/self-legacies.
