Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
The thymus begins to shrink in late adolescence and continues to diminish into middle age, leading to a decline in cell-mediated and humoral immunity. Changes in thyroid function, glucose metabolism, and living arrangements do not create a risk for infection.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Active immunity can be produced by vaccination. Vaccination is the process of injecting weakened or killed organisms into a person, stimulating antibody production.
