Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: The term insane was considered acceptable to identify people with a variety of disabilities including learning and developmental disabilities, as well as mental health problems. The terms mentally ill and mentally disabled were not regularly used until the 20th century.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5
Explanation: A straightjacket has long arms that can be tied together behind an individual's back to achieve restraint. Mitts are a hand device for restraining the hands of an individual. Hydrotherapy is a form of treatment, not restraint. Seclusion was used with some violent patients. Strapping involves tying patients to a bed or chair.
