Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Concentration difficulties occur when moderate or greater levels of anxiety are present. Loneliness is more related to mood. A failed personal relationship is more related to poor self-esteem. Inability to control anger is related to poor impulse control.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The HAS is a valid and time-tested tool that gives the most objective measure of the degree to which anxiety has been effectively treated. The HAS does not evaluate for symptoms of anxiety or act as a diagnosis tool for anxiety or another other associated disorder.
