Answer to Question 1

A
Neurological or endocrine abnormalities may be responsible for that inability of people with anorexia to process interoceptive stimuli. This inability to process interoceptive stimuli results in being unable to tell when one is hungry or full. Some have posited an organic cause for these abnormalities. However, it is unknown whether these neurological and endocrine abnormalities are the cause or result of anorexia nervosa.

Answer to Question 2

C
Depersonalization is characterized by feelings of detachment, isolation, alienation, unreality, confusion, and a dreamlike view of the world.
