Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Intense, persistent fear of an object is a clinical manifestation of a specific phobia. Option A: Social
phobias involve fear of a social situation. Option C: Agoraphobia involves fear of an environment
from which escape would be difficult. Option D: Generalized anxiety disorder involves generalized
anxiety rather than a specific fear.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
DSM-IV-TR criteria mention re-experiencing the traumatic event as consistent with posttraumatic
stress disorder. These symptoms are not part of the clinical manifestations of obsessive-compulsive
disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, or agoraphobia.
