Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gerontologists typically categorize individuals aged 65 and older as being in late adulthood. Misty is 85, so she fits into this category. Option A, "being young old," usually refers to individuals aged 65-74, and Misty is beyond that age range. Option B, "being in a time of tribalization," is not a typical description of aging stages. Option C, "being disengaged," is a concept related to social interactions and not necessarily related to age.
