Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by a pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, excessive attention to clothing and makeup, lack of empathy (understanding for others' state of mind) and sense of entitlement (the world owes me everything). Avoidant personality disorder is a pattern of social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy, and hypersensitivity to negative evaluation with inability to be with other people. Dependent personality disorder is manifested as a pervasive and excessive need to be taken care of, leading to submissive, clingy behavior and fear of separation. Antisocial personality disorder is a pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights of others, with no remorse for actions.
