Answer 1

Answer:

These are the options for the question:

a)become socially isolated as he disengages from his work

b)become an active volunteer or find other ways to remain socially engaged

c)actually return to work because his professional life is his sole source of identity

d)experience rapidly declining health and well-being as he becomes more and more isolated

And this is the correct answer:

b)become an active volunteer or find other ways to remain socially engaged

Explanation:

Pablo is described as a person who was very social, met a lot of people, enjoyed mentoring, and volunteering. As a result, Pablo's source of happiness in life was not only his work as a business manager, but also his social and volunteering activites.

Now that Pablo has retired, he will have more time to do those other activites that gave him a sense of meaning other than work. In other words, Pablo will likely volunteer more, and try to engage in more social activities.
