Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Depression in children may be indicated by apathy, night terrors, somatic complaints, and irritability. These symptoms are not suggestive of ADHD, conduct disorder, or psychosis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Crime is a common manifestation of oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder. High-risk sexual behavior may accompany the disorders but is not diagnostic. Tics and verbal outbursts are characteristic of Tourette's syndrome. Difficulty in relating to others is characteristic of autism spectrum disorders.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
