Answer to Question 1

B
Ageism is a bias against older people because of their age. None of the other options applies to the ideas expressed by the student.

Answer to Question 2

A
Patients with somatoform disorders go from doctor to doctor trying to establish a physical cause for their symptoms. When a psychological basis is suggested and a referral for counseling or psychiatric evaluation is offered, these patients usually reject both. They wish treatment for the symptoms but not a psychiatric resolution to the symptoms.
