Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
An individual who is demonstrating grandiosity has an exaggerated view of his abilities. Option 2 demonstrates this thinking better than the other options, which are more moderate statements.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Hypnotics (option 1) are used as sleep aids. Lithium (option 2) and anticonvulsants (option 4) are used for bipolar conditions. Antidepressants (option 3) are widely used to treat somatoform dis-orders.
