Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
A decrease in maternal mortality, decreased deaths from infectious diseases, and more chronic illness in men account for the disparity in genders as people age.

Answer to Question 2

B
The error theory poses that errors in DNA transcription lead to aging. The radical theory views the effects of free radicals as critical to aging. The cross linkage theory states that normally separated molecular structures are bound together through chemical reactions and that this interferes with metabolic processes. The wear-and-tear theory postulates that normal activity causes wear and tear on the body, leading to aging.
