Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback: Clients with antisocial personality disorder believe others are just like them, that is, ready to exploit and use others for their own gain. These clients mistrust others and are devoid of personal emotions; actually the self is quite shallow and empty. These clients view relationships as serving their needs and pursue others only for personal gain. There is no competition because these clients believe they are only taking care of themselves because no one else will.
