Answer to Question 1

D
Individuals with antisocial personality disorder are personable and persuasive, often able to convince judges of their good intentions. They are seldom able to maintain the good intentions they profess and revert to antisocial behaviors.

Answer to Question 2

C
Incongruent communication occurs when the verbal content and the nonverbal level of communication are not in agreement. Avoiding eye contact during the statement would demonstrate such a disagreement. The remaining options are not in disagreement and so are not incongruent.
