Answer 2

Answer:

The activities that will help Gayle prevent dementia are doing puzzles, learning a language, studying music, and reading.

Explanation:

All right, to understand this question we need to remember what Dementia is. Dementia is a combination of different conditions that end into memory decline or memory loss. So, the activities she needs to practice are all related to creative cognitive bridges of memory to maintain it healthy. But the real question is why puzzles, music, reading, and speaking a new language can help her. Well, that is because they re related to a very complex mechanism. First, the biological brain parts related to memory stop being used in high intensity if language activity is not developed by the individual. Also, because memory is the mechanism of gathering learning and storing it. So if we combine both of them we will task to our memory-related systems. While if we don't we are to pretty much-getting memory loss.
