Answer to Question 1

A
Compelling evidence exists that schizophrenia is a neurological disorder probably related to neurotransmitter abnormalities, neuroanatomical disruption of brain function, and genetic vulnerability. Stress, family disruption, and developmental influences may contribute to the development or expression of the illness but are not considered to be causes of the illness.

Answer to Question 2

C
Clarification helps to confirm feelings, ideas, and perceptions. The other options are examples of restating, focusing, and changing the topic.
