Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The somatic complaints are often difficult to distinguish from the physical symptoms associated with chronic physical illness. While the other options may have some influence, none possess the impact of the correct option.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
It is important to remember is that there is great deal of individual variability in definition of a stress. This affects what events will be identified as stressors and the manifestation of symptoms the stress will create. The remaining statements do not accurately describe stress and its effects of the individual.
