Answer to Question 1

B
Cognitive distortions are personal beliefs that lack logic and are not reflective of reality. Bingeing is a maladaptive eating response to feelings of isolation and loneliness and is not a cure for those feelings in spite of the patient's belief. The other statements do not represent cognitive distortions since they are logical and based in reality.

Answer to Question 2

A
The frontal lobe is responsible primarily for intellectual functioning, including learning, abstracting, reasoning, and inhibition of impulses.
