Grandma Rosa has just been diagnosed with a major neurocognitive disorder (dementia) in its early stage. On average, her family can expect her to survive for another:

Charlene is 12, and her elderly aunt has come for a visit. The aunt is using the spare bed in Charlene's room. Several times during the night, the aunt awakens briefly and then falls back to sleep. Charlene doesn't awaken at all during the night. This difference in sleep patterns can best be explained by research that shows a. during adulthood, the proportion of REM sleep gradually increases

b. during adulthood, the proportion of slow-wave sleep increases significantly. c. the elderly are more affected by jet lag and shifts in their circadian rhythm. d. during adulthood, the proportion of slow-wave sleep gradually declines.

The dictator of a small country has been removed and a new government is forming. Among the first task for the new country is the creation of the country's laws. The country's main industries are tourism and petroleum. A group representing the hospitality industry is participating in the law review process, as are groups representing the oil companies and military. The result of the process is that new laws allow the country's hotels to add casinos (but only to be patronized by foreign visitors). Other new laws remove workplace restrictions for the oil companies and impose a requirement for all able-bodies males to serve in the military for two years. This scenario describes:

A. the conflict paradigm. B. the consensus paradigm. C. the pluralist paradigm. D. the Marxist paradigm.
