Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Agoraphobia is the fear of being alone in public places from which the person thinks escape would be difficult or help would be unavailable if he or she were incapacitated.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
In moderate anxiety, the client experiences a narrowing of the ability to concentrate. The client paces, has voice tremors, and has an increased rate of speech. During euphoria, the client experiences an exaggerated feeling of well-being that is not directly proportional to a specific circumstance or situation. Mild anxiety causes the client to have an increased alertness to inner feelings or the environment. During severe anxiety, the client is able to focus on only small or scattered details.
