Answer to Question 1

A
Feeling low may be a symptom of depression. Low moods occurring with regularity should signal the need for further assessment for other symptoms of depression. The other options do not focus on mood.

Answer to Question 2

C
During adolescence interest in people of the opposite gender begins to increase. By age 14 years, teens explore the concepts of sex appeal and being in love. More than 50 of them have experienced sexual intercourse by this age.
