Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Hearing voices is generally associated with mental illness; however, in charismatic religious groups,
hearing the voice of God or a prophet is a desirable event. In this situation cultural norms vary,
making it more difficult to make an accurate DSM-IV-TR diagnosis. The individuals described in the
other options are less likely to be labeled as mentally ill.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The information given centers on relationships with others, which are described as intense and
unstable. The relationships of mentally healthy individuals are stable, satisfying, and socially
integrated. Data are not present to describe work effectiveness, communication skills, or activities
(options A, B, and C).
