Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The disillusionment phase occurs 2 months to 1 to 2 years after the event, and it is character-ized by feelings of disappointment, anger, resentment, and bitterness regarding the expecta-tions of support that were not met and often demonstrated through examples of community protest meetings. The heroic phase occurs immediately after the event, and it is a time of al-truism and heroic behavior in the community such as selfless sharing. The reconstruction phase occurs 2 months to 1 to 2 years after the event, when physical and emotional reinvest-ment take place as community resources are re-established.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Internal (subjective) crises are threats to a person's well-being that are not so obvious to the outside observer. Some are associated with phase-of-life events. Loss of faith in a supreme being would exemplify an internal crisis. The other options are considered external (situation-al) crises.
