Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Those with histrionic personality disorder strive to constantly be the center of attention by focusing exclusively on their own desires and interests during conversations with others. Other measures to gain attention include provocative dress and dramatic and highly emotional behaviors and displays. Despite their theatricality, their speech style is superficial and lacking in detail. Because of feelings of insecurity, people with this disorder often engage in seductive behaviors to gain approval.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
People with paranoid personality disorder are suspicious and quick to take offense. They usually cannot acknowledge their negative feelings toward others and project these negative feelings on them. They may have few friends, look for hidden meaning in innocent remarks, be litigious and guarded, or bear grudges for imagined insults or slights.
Marital or sexual difficulties are common and often involve issues related to fidelity.
