Question

aracely has been very nervous and has had trouble focusing. the thought of her house catching fire keeps her awake at night. she also has difficulty leaving the house for fear that it will catch fire while she is gone. these concerns began to bother aracely after her sister’s house caught fire. which warning sign of mental health issues does aracely’s behavior demonstrate? ○ apathy ○ illogical thinking ○ obvious mood swings ○ excessive sleeping

Explanation:

• Apathy is a lack of interest or concern, which does not match Aracely's excessive worry.
• Illogical thinking: Aracely fears her house will catch fire (like her sister’s) even without reason, showing irrational, illogical thoughts about the risk.
• Obvious mood swings involve sudden emotional shifts, not seen here.
• Excessive sleeping is about too much sleep, but Aracely has trouble sleeping. So illogical thinking fits.

Answer:

B. illogical thinking
