Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The exploding noises associated with fireworks are most likely to provoke exaggerated responses for this soldier. The distracters are not associated with offensive sounds.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Flashbacks are dissociative reactions in which an individual feels or acts as if the traumatic event were recurring. Illusions are misinterpretations of stimuli; although the experience is similar, the more accurate term is flashback because of the diagnosis of PTSD. Auditory hallucinations have no external stimuli. Nightmares commonly accompany PTSD, but this experience is stimulated by an actual environmental sound.
