Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback: The client displayed ideas that were loosely associated to one another. Concrete thoughts occur when the client continually gives literal translations. Ideas of reference are the client's inaccurate interpretation that general events are personally directed to him or her. Word salad is a flow of unconnected words that convey no meaning to the listener.
