Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Children with mood disorders may not spontaneously express their feelings (sadness, irritability) and are more likely to show their suffering through their behavior. These children may act out their feelings rather than discuss them. Thus behavior problems may accompany depression. Recurrent obsessions and ritualistic behavior would suggest obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Adaptive behavior comprises three skill types: conceptual skills (language and literacy, money, time, number concepts, and self-direction); social skills (interpersonal skills, social responsibility, self-esteem, gullibility, social problem solving, and the ability to follow rules and obey laws and to avoid being victimized); and practical skills (activities of daily living, occupational skills, health care, travel and transportation, schedules and routines, safety, use of money, use of telephone).
