Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The text addresses three broad factors: (1) shortage of affordable housing, (2) insufficient income, and (3) scarcity of supportive services as societal conditions that contribute to homelessness rather than cause homelessness. Domestic abuse, substance abuse, and serious mental illness are not identified as the broad factor contributing to homelessness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Bipolar disorder refers to a group of mood disorders that present with changes in mood from depression to mania. The depressed phase is manifested by symptoms seen in major depressive disorder. The manic phase is characterized by a persistent abnormally elevated or irritable mood, impaired judgment, flight of ideas, pressured speech, grandiosity, distractibility, excessive involvement in goal-directed activities, few hours sleeping, and impulsivity. These symptoms may co-occur with psychotic features, such as hallucinations and delusions. Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by chronic, unrealistic, and exaggerated worry and tension about one or more life circumstances lasting 6 months or longer.
