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.
