Answer to Question 1

B
Clanging, or clang associations, involves choosing words based on their sounds rather than their meanings and usually involves alliteration or rhyming. Neologisms are newly coined words. Looseness of association refers to thoughts that are poorly connected to each other, or that do not seem to present in logical order. Ideas of reference involve interpreting neutral events as somehow having specific meaning or relationship to the patient.

Answer to Question 2

D
A chief task during the termination phase of a group is to take what has been learned in group and transition to life without the group. The end of a group can be a significant loss for members, who may experience loss and grief and respond with sadness or anger. It is unlikely he would have nothing to say; at the very least, he could be responding to the comments of others even if not focusing on his own issues. He may wish to give quieter members a chance to talk, but again, this would not require or explain his complete silence. Some members, faced with only two remaining sessions, may be becoming more dominant under this pressure of time, but here too this is unlikely to lead a previously active participant to fall completely silent.
