Answer to Question 1

B
Secondary enuresis develops when a bladder-trained child becomes incontinent. Usually it follows a stressful event, such as the birth of a sibling or a divorce.

Answer to Question 2

A
It is a common traditional Puerto Rican cultural belief that mental illness is caused by witchcraft, magic, or evil spells, as opposed to more traditional Western medicine, which believes that stress and chemical imbalances play a role in mental illness. A trance is considered a state of consciousness in some cultures.
