- A senior citizen can increase the chances of a happy and healthy end of life by: joining social groups, being around family, and having a bucket-list to achieve.
- My best answer is joining a social group since its the one that is more of both healthy and happy, and because its the easiest one for a senior to do.
(2) What process did you take to arrive at this answer?

Different articles also help, I read a book called the Third Chapter by Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, this book was very cute and had different stories about seniors and they were tied into a bigger picture.
