Answer to Question 1

B
The tremor of Parkinson's disease, a disease that affects the extrapyramidal system, is most pronounced when the patient is at rest. In Parkinson's disease, tremor is absent during sleep and diminished when concentrating or with intentional movement.

Answer to Question 2

B
Theorists widely accept the Freudian concept that ego defense mechanisms operate unconsciously to lower anxiety. The function of defense mechanisms is limited to anxiety control, so the other options are incorrect.
