Answer to Question 1

B
Unresolved grief results when a grieving person doesn't move past some stage of grief work. The widow is still in denial.

Answer to Question 2

D
Scleral icterus means the color of the sclera is yellow. The jaundice is due to coloring of the sclera with bilirubin that infiltrates all tissues of the body.
