Answer to Question 1

A
The limbic system is concerned with subjective emotional experiences and with changes in body functions associated with emotional states.

Answer to Question 2

C
The Greek and Roman cultures developed the idea of humors: blood, black bile, yellow bile, and phlegm. Hippocrates believed that excesses of black bile caused melancholy. Through bloodletting, the excess could be removed. This was a primitive treatment of mental illness.
