Answer to Question 1

1,3
Rationale: The hypothalamus stimulates shivering to increase heat production.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale: Negative symptoms of schizophrenia involve a deficit or decrease of normal function, such as a blunted or flat affect. Positive symptoms are an excess or distortion of normal functioning, such as delusions, hallucinations, or rapid speech pattern producing a word salad that has little meaning to the listener.
