Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Mentally healthy people are independent and autonomous. They think well of themselves and others, but are also realistic about their own and others' abilities and shortcomings. They can accept the ups and downs of life and often come out even stronger than before. They have a wide range of behaviors, emotions, and values that are usually consistent with one another. The other choices do not necessarily describe someone who is mentally healthy.
