Answer to Question 1

B
Limbic connections to the autonomic nervous system produces the most striking physical manifestations of anxiety. These changes include heart rate changes, pallor, sweating, and hair standing on end. Other responses directly patterned by connections from the limbic area to affected muscles (including crouching, yawning, and raising arms) are also part of the fear pattern.

Answer to Question 2

B
The girl is exhibiting separation anxiety. Older children with separation anxiety begin to have difficulties socially and academically. They may begin experiencing difficulties sleeping by themselves at night. They may also express fears of losing their parents through accidents or illness. Separation anxiety can also affect the child's ability to attend school or camp, stay at friends' houses, or be in a room by themselves.
