Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Hate crimes are crimes based on an individual's race, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic background, or national origin. Hate crimes may include rape, sexual or physical assault, harassment, attacks on homes or on places of worship, and vandalism. Because hate crimes attack an individual's identity, the emotional effects are compounded.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Research has identified four keys to gauging the mental health impact of such events, any two of which may result in severe, lasting, and pervasive psychological effects. The key factors are: (1) extreme and widespread property damage; (2) serious and ongoing financial problems; (3) high prevalence of trauma in the form of injuries, threat to life, and loss of life; and (4) when human intent caused the disaster. Because the fire was deliberately set and lives were lost, that disaster will be more disruptive than disasters when only property was damaged.
