Answer to Question 1

B
A negative related to the use of the DSM-IV-TR is the fact that the human experience is reduced to a diagnostic label. The other three options are positive factors for use of this system.

Answer to Question 2

A
Cocaine acts in the brain's reward centers to block the reuptake of neurotransmitters, especially norepinephrine and dopamine. The result is that there is excess stimulation of these reward centers by these two excitatory neurotransmitters.
