Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
With age, muscle mass decreases, myocytes are replaced with fibrous tissue, and posture and gait change. Vertebral spaces narrow, leading to shrinkage. Women become bowlegged and develop a waddling gait.

Answer to Question 2

A
Melanoma only accounts for 5 of skin cancer diagnoses but causes 75 of skin cancer mortal-ity. Therefore, it is critical that the condition is diagnosed promptly.
