Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The city has been seen as frightening, immoral, impersonal, and noisy. Urban life has been said to weaken kinship ties and produce impersonal relationships. Cities overwhelm their inhabitants with unwanted sensory stimuli, creating psychic overload for the city dweller, who in an effort to adapt becomes calculating and emotionally distant. Cities are also said to produce psychological stress and social disorganization. Because of the absence of primary group ties, the city dweller lacks the group controls that might restrain antisocial behaviors.
