Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Identifying a link between past smoking habits and present lung cancer shows a realistic understanding of the causation of a crisis. Severe anxiety without tangible cause, resignation, and fatalism are defense and coping mechanisms that are associated with an unrealistic understanding of a crisis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
While numerous negative consequences exist when an individual lacks situational support in a crisis, one of the most common is the tendency to interpret a crisis as overwhelming or irresolvable.
