Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Dependent personalities lack self-confidence and are unable to function in an independent role. Clients go to great lengths to seek nurturance and support from others. They experience difficulty in making everyday decisions and are preoccupied with fears of being left alone to care for themselves.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by an exaggerated sense of self-importance. It is plausible that a client's high degree of control and entitlement early in life may have contributed to or exacerbated such tendencies. The other patterns of interaction would not tend to promote entitlement or a grandiose self-view.
