Answer to Question 1

D
The corpus callosum connects the two brain hemispheres. When this communication pathway is severed, split-brain syndrome develops. None of the other structures is implicated in this disorder.

Answer to Question 2

A
The DSM gives the criteria used to diagnose each mental disorder. The distracters do not contain diagnostic criteria for mental illness.
