Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Perseverative functional autonomy is the level of functional autonomy that relates to low-level and routine behaviors. The behaviors and actions once served a purpose but they no longer do and are at too basic and low a level to be considered an integral part of personality.

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Perseverative functional autonomy is concerned with such behaviors as addictions and repetitive physical actions such as habitual ways of performing some routine, everyday task. The behaviors continue or persevere on their own without any external reward.
