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.
