Answer to Question 1

B
Most adolescent girls use ineffective or no contraception at all and most adolescent boys do not use condoms. Because of this practice, the sexually transmitted disease (including human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome HIV/AIDS) and pregnancy rates are higher for adolescents than the general population of sexually active adults.

Answer to Question 2

D
The child has indicated he believes he may be too dumb to learn, does not deserve to have friends, and is frequently demeaned by his father, all clues to Chronic low self-esteem. Although Knowledge deficit would seem likely because of his absences from school, this is not supported by the data provided and is a lesser priority than self-esteem. Helplessness could also be inferred from the child's negative outlook and limited options, but again, the data do not specifically document this. Ineffective coping is not described in the problem statement.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
