Answer to Question 1

D
Seeing objects that are not visible to another person can be documented as having visual hallucinations, rather than any of the other choices.

Answer to Question 2

C, E
TBI and PTSD each occur in approximately 20 of soldiers returning from Afghanistan. Some soldiers have both problems. The incidence of disorders identified in the distracters would be expected to parallel the general population.
