Answer to Question 1

B
The client describes feelings of lack of control over events in his life. Options A and C: No direct
mention is made of hopelessness or chronic low self-esteem. Option D: The client's thought
processes are not shown to be altered at this point.

Answer to Question 2

A
Legal sanity refers to the individual's ability to know right from wrong with reference to the act
charged, the capacity to know the nature and quality of the act charged, and the capacity to form the
intent to commit the crime. It is determined for the specific time of the act. Only option A refers to
the client's state at the time of the alleged crime.
