Answer to Question 1

C
Relationships with family and former friends are invariably disrupted based on the victim's inability to trust. Reestablishing relationships would be the first step toward reorganization. Later, the victim will be able to make independent decisions for herself. Repression and desensitization are not the initial desirable outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

B
In the honeymoon stage the perpetrator is apologetic and kind, attempting to undo the harm of the battering incident. The perpetrator promises never to repeat the battering. The events occurring in the other options would not be deterrents to leaving. The processing stage is not an actual stage in the cycle.
