Answer to Question 1

A
The individual with ADHD during adolescence may be unable to find meaningful employment due to dropping out of school. Often the adolescent's academic achievement may have been a source of conflict with caregivers and teachers. The lack of a high school education interferes with the adolescent obtaining adequate and meaningful employment.

Answer to Question 2

C
The belief that the television set can see him and record his thoughts is an example of a referential delusion. Persons with referential delusions believe that common events such as passages in songs, patterns of clouds in the sky, or comments of others on the radio or television refer specifically to them.
