Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

It is generally accepted that positive reinforcement changes behavior. Chores often have negative associations for children, so suggesting that the child compare using the meter to chores may not provide the expected outcome. Using the meter is not a game; it is serious. It is not appropriate to make a game out of something as serious as a meter. A negative comment will not affect behavior change.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

The medical profession considers transsexuals to have a condition known as gender dysphoria or gender identity disorder, which is defined as a strong and persistent feeling of discomfort with one's assigned gender. The woman states she has always felt like a man trapped in a woman's body, which is a description of this phenomenon.
