Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
ADHD (attention deficit /hyperactivity disorder) is the most common mental disorder in the 8 to 15 year old age group.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Conduct disorder is characterized by a pattern of aggressive behavior and violating the rights of others, including defiance and rule breaking. The other responses are psychiatric disorders that would not be the most likely diagnosis given Marie's behavior.
