Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The comment about suicides occurring more frequently during holiday seasons is a myth that requires clarification. Warning signs, indecision about living and dying, and taking individuals seriously when they discuss suicide are accurate facts.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Lethality refers to the probability that a person will successfully complete suicide. Parasuicide is a voluntary, apparent attempt at suicide, commonly called a suicidal gesture, in which the aim is not death (e.g., taking a sublethal drug). The term suicidality refers to all suicide-related behaviors and thoughts of completing or attempting suicide, and suicide ideation. Suicidal ideation is thinking about and planning one's own death.
