Answer to Question 1

Displacement
An example of this defense mechanism is the teenager who has had a fight with her boyfriend and becomes angry and shouts at her mother for no justified reason.

Answer to Question 2

A
Falling asleep easily and waking only to strong verbal stimuli describe the level of consciousness known as somnolent, which also can be called a state of drowsiness. Frequently sleeping and waking only to strong physical stimuli describe a stuporous state, unresponsiveness to verbal or painful stimuli is a comatose state or unconsciousness, and alternating periods of excitability and drowsiness describe a lethargic state.
