Answer to Question 1

B
Personality changes are often evident in increased irritability in early HD. The distracters are seen in Parkinson's disease or dementia.

Answer to Question 2

D
When the individual with anorexia nervosa insists that being 25 underweight is not a problem (and thinking that she is too fat, when in fact she is emaciated), the defense mechanism responsible is denial. Rationalization involves making excuses, projection involves blaming others, and splitting involves the inability to integrate good and bad in one concept.
