Answer to Question 1

D
Hypnotherapy involves hypnosis, which is assisting the client to an altered state of consciousness to create an awareness and a directed focus experience. The word hypnosis actually refers to the induction of sleep.

Answer to Question 2

B
A PET scanner can identify and precisely localize rapid changes in blood flow that occur as the result of various mental and emotional stimuli. When susceptible persons are made anxious during PET scanning, blood flow increases significantly both in the limbic system and in several specific areas of the cerebral cortex.
