Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

A common way of describing schizophrenia is by categorizing its symptoms as either positive or negative.
Positive symptoms are abnormal behaviors, unusual perceptions or thoughts that are present, while negative
symptoms involve the absence of something normal. Thus, inappropriate emotion would be a positive symptom
and a lack of emotion would be a negative symptom. It should be noted, however, that a single individual is
likely to exhibit both types of symptoms.
