Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Resiliency enables a child to handle the stresses of a difficult childhood. Resilient children can adapt to changes in the environment, take advantage of nurturing relationships with adults other than parents, distance themselves from emotional chaos occurring within the family, learn, and use problem-solving skills.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
These behaviors demonstrate impulsivity. Hyperactive behaviors are more physical in nature, such as running, pushing, and the inability to sit. Inattention is a failure to listen. Defiance is willfully doing what an authority figure has said not to do.
