Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Rationale: Mr. V. failed to appreciate the emotional significance of the loss of movement of the left side of his body after his stroke.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: At 7 months of age, his penis was accidentally removed during a botched circumcision procedure. He was reassigned as a female (Brenda) and underwent a sex change operation (removal of the testes and creation of a vagina). For some time it was thought that he shifted his identity to that of a female, suggesting that social forces are more powerful than are biological. However, after a stormy adolescent period in which she grew to believe that she was a boy, it was revealed to Brenda that she had been born a boy, and the procedure was reversed (mastectomy, creation of a phallus). One view is that David's brain was exposed to circulating levels of androgens, which masculinized his brain, and that socialization could not overcome the impact of androgenization on brain circuitry.
