Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The defining characteristic of silent rape syndrome is that the victim fails to disclose information about the rape to anyone. Shame and humiliation are not uncommon immediate responses to rape.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
While the perpetrator in this case is indeed acquainted with the victim, as in cases of marked victim rape, the defining characteristic is the victim's inability to give consent because of her intellectual disabilities. Consequently, this would be considered an example of accessory-to-sex rape.
