Answer to Question 1

D
The rock concert riot is unplanned, accidental, violent, and not a part of everyday life. Options A
and B are examples of situational crises. Option C is an example of a maturational crisis.

Answer to Question 2

C
Minimizing one's drinking is a form of denial of alcoholism. By his own description, he is more than
a social drinker. Option A: Projection involves blaming another for one's faults or problems. Option
B: Rationalization involves making excuses. Option D: Introjection involves taking a quality into
one's self system.
