Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Recent studies indicate gingko is does not help with cognition or memory problems. Valerian is useful for treating mild depression or anxiety. The other distracters are misleading.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Rigid boundaries are those that do not change or flex with changing circumstances, as indicated here by parents who are reluctant to revise their roles and expectations about their children as the children mature. Enmeshed boundaries are those that have failed to differentiate or develop individually; the family shares roles and thoughts to an excessive degree, without a healthy degree of individuality. Clear boundaries are not enmeshed; they are appropriate and well maintained.
