Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The other responses are inaccurate. Alcohol reduces inhibitions that can lead to aggressive behaviors.

Answer to Question 2

Inconsistent explanations of injuries are a common indicator of abuse. All of the other responses would not be indicators on their own, but with other factors may lead you to suspect abuse.
