Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
The most common causes of death in the older population are cerebrovascular disease, heart conditions, and cancer. End-stage renal disease and diabetes are not among the top three causes of death.

Answer to Question 2

C
Immunosenescence is the term used in immunity theory to describe an age-related decrease in immune functioning. According to this theory, as people age, they are more prone to getting cancer or autoimmune diseases because of this phenomenon. This is a nonstochastic theory. Radical and error theories are both stochastic. The pacemaker theory looks at the interrelated role of the neurologic and endocrine systems and aging.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
