Answer to Question 1

D
Pessimism is a thought distortion or thinking error where an individual predicts that things will turn out badly. Individuals who are pessimistic may in fact always dwell on the negative. These individuals may also overgeneralize.

Answer to Question 2

B
Clients with OCPD tend to have great difficulty discarding objects, no matter how worn out or worthless they are. They also have a tendency to hoard money. OCPD only occurs in about 1 of the general population. However, men are twice as likely to be diagnosed with OCPD as women.
