Answer to Question 1

c

Answer to Question 2

1) Illness allows a socially isolated person to receive nurturance and support from family, friends, and physicians. 2) The sick role can be used as a rationalization for occupational, social, and sexual failures. 3) Illness can be used
to manipulate other people or social situations. 4) Because physical illness is less stigmatizing than having a psychological disorder, many individuals prefer to attribute psychological symptoms to physical causes. 5) Somatic symptoms may represent behavior learned in childhood (e.g., parents may provide more attention during illnesses).
