Answer to Question 1

B
While children with anxiety, depression, and conduct disorders all share school problems, depression, and altered sleeping patterns, demonstrating aggression toward people or animals is unique to conduct disorders.

Answer to Question 2

A
The autonomic nervous system, which comprises parasympathetic and sympathetic systems, is responsible for the individual's physiological responses to anxiety. The parasympathetic system conserves body responses, and the sympathetic system activates body responses. Sympathetic reactions predominate in anxiety.
