Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
If an individual believes that abnormal behavior can always be identified by warning signs ahead of time, he or she agrees that it can be predicted.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Creating a division between us and them is a component of stigmatization. Being dissatisfied with treatment options for mental illness does not mean that the speaker is stigmatizing mental illness.
