Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Research has demonstrated links between creative activities and the consequential positive feelings with the increased production of protective immune cells. Creativity is also possibly linked to delaying the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Continually challenging oneself mentally is a way to build up reserves of neurologic structures and connections. The remaining options, although related to the immune system, are more directly focused on the physical affects ra-ther than the cognitive ones.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D, E
The formal operations level includes the ability for future thinking and for problem-solving complex issues. The remaining options reflect concrete operations level abilities.
