Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Kozol (1988) argued: We would be wise to avoid the numbers game. Any search for the 'right number' carries the assumption that we may at last arrived at an acceptable number. There is no acceptable number. Whether the number is 1 million or 4 million, there are too many homeless people in America.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Deinstitutionalizat ion is the release of institutionalized people, especially mental health patients, from an institution for placement and care in the community and was initiated in 1965. From 1955 to 1980, the number of mentally ill patients in state facilities fell from 559,000 to 154,000 because patients moved back out into communities. The Community Mental Health Centers Act of 1964 provided federal support for mental health services. The act supported measures to implement facilities to care for those who were mentally retarded and to construct community mental health centers. The creation of state mental hospitals and the discovery of electroconvulsive therapy occurred before 1965.
