Answer to Question 1

B
Lowering the threshold set point for anxiety will result in the patient becoming anxious more easily. Thus, lesser effect and ease of handling are incorrect options. Marked personality disorganization would not necessarily occur.

Answer to Question 2

B
The exploding noises associated with fireworks are likely to provoke exaggerated responses from this soldier. The distracters are not associated with offensive sounds.
