Answer to Question 1

B
Although hyperactivity, impulsivity, and social impairment usually diminish as troublesome
symptoms during adolescence and early adulthood, inattention usually persists from childhood into
adult ADHD.

Answer to Question 2

related to controlling recidivism. Options A and D are undesirable. Option B: The scenario does not
give enough information to allow the learner to know whether anger has been identified as a
