Answer to Question 1

B, D, E
Purging commonly occurs after bingeing, and this causes erosion of tooth enamel. Intake of less than 1000 calories per day and body weight at least 20 less than normal are typical of anorexia nervosa. Body weight is often kept normal or within 20 of normal with bulimia.

Answer to Question 2

D
Cognitive theory suggests that thought processes are the basis of emotions and behavior. Changing faulty learning makes development of new adaptive behaviors possible. The distracters relate to psychoanalytic therapy, biological therapy, and aversion therapy.
