Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The free radical theory states that aging occurs as a result of random damage from free radi-cals. Research is ongoing on the ability of substances with antioxidant effects to counter the actions of free radicals. The cross-link theory describes aging in terms of the accumulation of errors of cross-linking or stiffening of proteins in the body. The error theory is actually a category of theories and not a theory itself. The nutrition theory is not one of the theories of aging.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Erikson's last developmental stage is ego integrity. Ego maturation vs. stagnation is not one of Erikson's stages. Ego transcendence vs. ego preoccupation is not one of Erikson's stages; it is one of Peck's developmental stages. Peck expanded on the work of Erikson. Generativi-ty is Erikson's developmental stage for middle age.
