Answer to Question 1

C
The patient demonstrated angry behavior and pleasant, happy behavior within seconds of each other. Mood swings are often rapid and seemingly without understandable reason in patients with mania.

Answer to Question 2

C
These are typical symptoms when someone experiences a severe level of anxiety. During mild anxiety, the perceptual field is broad; moderate anxiety is the best state for problem solving and learning because perception is focused; panic results in totally scattered or closed perception, and problem solving is nearly impossible.
