Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Theories lead to the collection of relevant empirical (factual) data or relations not yet observed, leading to the expansion of knowledge in a field. Theories also incorporate known empirical findings within a logically consistent and reasonably simple framework. They do not necessarily simplify treatment. Increased professionalism is not a central attribute of theories.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Central to psychoanalytic theory is the idea of the unconscious. A goal of psychoanalysis is to expand awareness of unconscious functioning and its relation to everyday living. The other listed theories do not prioritize the role of the unconscious to the same degree.
