Answer to Question 1

D
All the problems described are indicators of depression in adolescents. Although the incidence of depression is twice as great in girls as in boys, the male suicide rate for 15- to 19-year-olds is five times the female rate.

Answer to Question 2

B
An axiom put forth by Watzlawick, Beavin, and Jackson (1967) is that all behavior is communication and conveys a message. Other axioms include all communication defines a relationship, persons communicate both verbally (content) and nonverbally (more about relationships), and all communication is either symmetrical or complementary.
