a. Helps maintain joint flexibility
b. Improves the group's cohesiveness
c. Provides a needed social opportunity

D
Learning advanced techniques is a suitable activity for older adults because it builds on know-ledge they already have; further, this activity is suitable because it is concrete and practical for experienced knitters to develop advanced skills. Joint flexibility is a physical activity and not necessarily a learning activity. The members share enjoyment of knitting; other than being women and older, the group has no special bond on which to build. The need for socializing is not evident.
