Answer to Question 1

B, C, E
The correct answers are true relative to the scenario. Psychologically unhealthy individuals may have more complex reactions but not necessarily atypical ones. Anticipating death and completing mourning would not be an expectation related to the death of a man healthy enough to jog.

Answer to Question 2

C
Infants who were exposed to cocaine in utero have sleeping and eating problems, unusual levels of irritability, and high-pitched cries.
