Answer to Question 1

D
Freud associated a girl's feelings of disappointed with her feelings of deprivation, since she no longer receives the level of love and attention from her mother that the girl received as a baby. The other three options relate to earlier developmental stages according to the psychoanalytic framework.

Answer to Question 2

C
Women more commonly than men experience predominant depression. Women are about twice as likely to be affected by unipolar depression as men. However, women are no more likely than men to have bipolar disorder. Some of the difference in rate between the two conditions is due to the increased frequency of unipolar disorder in women. Depressive disease in men is about evenly divided between unipolar and bipolar.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
