Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Clients with Cluster B disorders display dramatic, emotional, and attention-seeking behaviors. These include antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder, and narcissistic personality disorder.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Clients with schizoid personality disorder show an indifference to social relationships, a flattened affectivity, and a cold, unsociable, seclusive demeanor. They take pleasure in few, if any, activities. People with this disorder usually never marry, have little interest in exploring their sexuality, and frequently live as adult children with their parents or other first-degree relatives. Because they are lifelong loners, they often succeed at solitary jobs others would find intolerable.
