Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: From the study of families in detail, it becomes apparent that patterns are spread over generations. The timeline, or genogram, is highly effective as a visual representation of family patterns from one generation to the next. The other choices have not been proven effective in soliciting information about multigenerational patterns.

Answer to Question 2

2,5
Rationale: Identification of ways to minimize diversity among team members. Effective collaboration on a team involves the ability to value diversity and turn differences into assets. An inability to value diversity may be a detriment to the team's efforts.
