Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Quiet and happy harmony with nature is the key belief in Taoism. Purity and balance in physical and mental life are major motivators for personal conduct with Shintoism. Respect for the powers of nature and pleasing the spirits are fundamental beliefs associated with animism. Worshipping God out of love, not fear, reflects Judaism.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
A cultural explanation refers to the perceived causes of symptoms. Cultural idiom of distress describes the suffering within a cultural group. Cultural explanations do not describe the social factors contributing to a disorder. Linguistic competence is the capacity to communicate effectively and convey information that is easily understood by diverse audiences.
