Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Rituals are common compulsions in which objects must be in a certain order, motor activities are performed in a rigid fashion, or things are arranged in perfect symmetry. A ritual consumes a great deal of time to complete even the simplest task. Some individuals experience discontent, rather than anxiety, when things are not symmetrical or perfect. Behaviors such as touching every third tree, avoiding cracks in the sidewalk, or consistently verbalizing fears of losing a parent in an accident may have some underlying pathology but are common behaviors in childhood.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Individuals with BDD focus on real (but slight) or imagined defects in appearance, such as a large nose, thinning hair, or small genitals. Preoccupation with the perceived defect causes significant distress and interferes with their ability to function socially. They feel so self-conscious that they avoid work or public situations. Some fear that their ugly body part will malfunction. Surgical correction of the problem by a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist does not correct their preoccupation and distress. BDD is an extremely debilitating disorder and can significantly impair an individual's quality of life.
