Answer to Question 1

Right on time. Thanks a bunch.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: Systematic desensitization, involving exposure to the feared activity along with an anxiety reducing technique, is a standard treatment for fear of flying. Psychoanalysis explores psychodynamic patterns whose roots are in childhood experiences. Aversion therapy is not a standard treatment for phobias. Cognitive therapy involves addressing negative assumptions.
