Answer to Question 1

D
Many of the symptoms of battered woman syndrome correspond to the symptoms of PTSD; however, battered woman syndrome has additional symptoms not delineated as part of PTSD (e.g., depression, low self-esteem, self-blame, fatalism). It is not related to the other options.

Answer to Question 2

B
Sexual abuse can involve anyone, but incest refers to a family member. The terms are not interchangeable. The distinction between rape and sexual abuse is incorrect. The explanation of incest is too narrow.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
