Answer to Question 1

Nicholas seems to have a resistant attachment to his mother. Her parenting is likely to be inconsistent and depend largely on her mood. Recommendations would aim at improving the bond between Nicholas and his mother through the promotion of routine interactions and sensitive parenting. Responsiveness to the child's needs and a pattern of stimulation offered by the parent can promote a secure attachment. Social and environmental factors that might promote insecure attachment can also be identified and targeted as needed.

Answer to Question 2

D
