Answer to Question 1

A
Family history of suicide is a significant risk factor for self-destructive behavior. In addition, monozygotic twins have a high concordance rate for suicide.

Answer to Question 2

C
The group supporter always focuses on others' ideas and makes helpful comments and kind suggestions. The talker tends to dominate the discussion, the silent one remains quiet and is almost invisible to the group, and the intimidator tries to scare off other group members.
