Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Individuals with anorexia are below 85 of the normal weight for their height, which is not attributable to a medical condition. Normal weight can also be determined by a body mass index equal to or below 17.5 kg/m2 (APA, 2013). Individuals with anorexia do not believe they need to gain weight and have an intense fear of becoming fat even though they are underweight. This fear is not relieved if additional weight is lost.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
As explained in Schwitzer et al. (2001, 158), eating disorders are driven by (1) perfectionism regarding body image, romantic and other personal relationships, and grades; (2) a fragile sense of self, feelings of inadequacy, and a need to be bolstered by others; (3) self-doubt expressed as sexual intimacy questions and ambivalence about whether one is thin enough to attract a romantic partner and whether one should want to please a partner at all; and (4) a sense of powerlessness in intimate relationships and the world generally.
