Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Leading the first group session is difficult because the leader has many different dynamics and logistics to manage in the first session. The group is just beginning, so members must be introduced to both the members of the group as well as the group's purpose and content. Group member reactions must be monitored to gage how well members are adjusting to the group.
