Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Scapegoating is blaming others for one's own unacceptable behavior.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
This patient is struggling to accept a painful reality. Denial serves as a way to avoid this reality. Regression is emotionally returning to an earlier time in life when there was far less stress. Projection is blaming others. Enabling is not a defense mechanism.
