Answer to Question 1

A person with a sexual fetish finds it necessary to have some external object present, in fantasy or in
reality, to be sexually satisfied. Option A: Pedophilia refers to the preference for having sexual
relations with a child. Option B: Exhibitionism refers to exposing ones genitalia publicly. Option D:
Voyeurism refers to viewing others in intimate situations.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A

situation to be ignored. Option C: Projection involves unconsciously disowning an unacceptable
idea, feeling, or behavior by attributing it to another. Option D: Repression involves unconsciously
placing an idea, feeling, or event out of awareness.
