Answer to Question 1

B
Individual therapy allows focused intervention on mental health problems specific to individual perpetrators, whereas group therapy is effective for teaching and provides a community of healing and restoration. Court-ordered treatment is more effective, because the perpetrator is required to comply and is more likely to complete the treatment. Couples and family therapy would be of secondary value in addressing the problem of partner abuse.

Answer to Question 2

A
The conference room would provide a quiet, private area with few distractions, separate from other patient areas and effective for teaching and learning about a private topic. The auditorium is too large, and members' anxiety or lack of trust might lead them to spread out too far from each other, interfering with group process. The day room and the music therapy room are too busy and exposed, reducing privacy and increasing distractions.
