Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback: The client able to verbalize angry feelings has progressed from having an outburst. The client is not trying to control the situation. Manipulation occurs when a person tries to persuade another to act in a desired way. Regression occurs when one retreats to an earlier level of functioning and development.
