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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
