Answer to Question 1

C
Speaking of a sad topic while laughing exemplifies inappropriate affect. Autism is characterized by having little concern for external reality. Ambivalence is the simultaneous presence of opposite emotions. Associative looseness is characterized by stringing unrelated topics together.

Answer to Question 2

B
Recent studies indicate that gingko does not help with cognition or memory problems. SAM-e is useful for treating mild depression. The other distracters are misleading.
