Answer to Question 1

4
Daily exposure to full-spectrum light reduces the symptoms of seasonal affective disorder.

Answer to Question 2

B
The patient is misinterpreting the ropes of the Buck's traction. Illusions are common in early withdrawal from alcohol. A delusion is a fixed false belief. Hallucinations are sensory perceptions occurring in the absence of a stimulus. Codependence is an experience of significant others.
