Answer to Question 1

A
ADHD is diagnosed when children display signs of inattention, hyperactivity, or both. Children who suffer from inattention have difficulty paying attention to details and are easily distracted by classroom events. As a result they almost always have serious difficulties in school. Hyperactive children tend to fidget and squirm; they may be disruptive in class by moving out of their seats and interfering with teaching activities for other students.

Answer to Question 2

C
Work involvement by individuals with mental illnesses (specifically schizophrenia) was associated with larger network sizes. Additionally, the study found that neither living situation nor frequent moves had any association with social outcomes later in life. From the study, one can infer that there is a modest support for the role of work involvement in social outcomes.
