Answer to Question 1

D
There is good evidence that exposure to violence in television, movies, and video games increases both short- and long-term aggressiveness among viewers. Even the television news presentations can influence violent behavior.

A
In Sullivan's view, true adolescence begins with the development and psychosocial management of overt sexual impulses. The girl's movement from Girl Scouts to a co-ed youth social group indicates that she is beginning to experience sexual impulses.
