Answer:
The best answer choice for the question: Which of the following best describes the results of Dr. Sneed´s study on volunteering and hypertension, would be, D: The risk of hypertension is lower only for people who volunteer more than 200 hours per year.
Explanation:
The study, which was carried out by Rodlescia S. Sneed and Sheldon Cohen, and which was published under the name "A Prospective Study of Volunteerism and Hypertension Risk in Older Adults" was a very interesting one where the correlation between the risk of developing hypertension in older adults, and the hours spent at volunteering activities, 200 or more in a year, regardless of age, sex, origin, race, and other factors, was studied. In the end, the results of this study show that there is, in fact, a relation between the two things and it is believed that the reason is that volunteering in older adults brings positive concepts about self, and others, that affect the body positively. Thus, although volunteering won´t change a person´s hypertensive state and it is not a cure either, it does reduce the incidence of hypertension on the people that were followed for 4 years. The clarification, however, made by the investigators, is that this applies to older adults who volunteered at least 200 hours or more, and not the other group studied, which was the one that volunteered less that 200 and to a minimum of 100 hours per year. This is why the answer is D.

Answer:
The correct response is Option B: A death-deferral phenomenon.
Explanation:
The study results regarding death deferral and Christmas suggest that people held off on dying until after Christmas because this is an important family holiday and it is suggested that people hold off on dying on such days. There has also been an examination of data regarding the death-deferral phenomenon regarding birthdays. There seems to be an association with fewer people dying in the six months leading up to their birthday than the six months after their birthday. These patterns, however, are hard to prove as being the result of a person's will to live in a systematic way.
The three basic group of parts for all modern firearms are: action, stock, and barrel.
The action is the heart of the firearm - the moving parts that load, fire, and eject the shells or cartridges.
The stock serves as the handle of the firearm. It can be composed of one or two pieces and is usually made from wood or a synthetic material.
The barrel is the metal tube that the projectile travels through.
