Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
In severe anxiety, perception becomes increasingly distorted, sensory input diminishes, and processing of sensory stimuli becomes scattered and disorganized.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Pathologic anxiety is suspected if a person feels anxious when no real threat exists, when a threat has passed long ago but continues to impair the person's functioning, or when a person substitutes adaptive coping mechanisms with maladaptive ones. Normal anxiety does not always prompt the creation of solutions.
