Answer to Question 1

C
There is evidence that the potential to develop PTSD may be influenced by earlier life experience such as the exposure to a traumatic experience as a child. While the other options suggest stressors, they are not as personally impactful or as traumatic as the correct option.

Answer to Question 2

A
The group member who focuses on the problem at hand is the problem solver. The intimidator is the individual who takes over and scares off other members. The naysayer is one who predicts negative consequences, and the devil's advocate always finds fault with everyone and everything.
