Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Using anxiety-reduction strategies will promote maximal functioning. Option 1 encourages avoidance and therefore limits activities. Option 3 promotes dependency, and option 4 is not necessarily true.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
The woman is refusing to acknowledge her problem and is in denial. She is not using humor, and she is not attributing negative qualities to anyone (devaluation). Sublimation is incorrect because she is not channeling maladaptive thoughts into socially acceptable behavior.
