Answer to Question 1

C
In the working phase issues of power and control surface. Members of the group may challenge the
leader and display anger with the leader for not providing autocratic leadership. In its own way this
behavior helps the group move toward reliance on one another. Option A: Preorientation refers to
the time during which the leaders select members and make plans for the group. Option B: The
initial phase refers to the time during which the members get to know one another, observe each
other, and begin to take steps toward the working phase. Option D: Termination prepares members
for separation.

Answer to Question 2

C
C's symptoms are consistent with symptoms of pervasive developmental disorder. The behaviors of
the other children are within normal ranges.
