Explanation:

• First question: Negative symptoms of schizophrenia involve the absence of normal behaviors. An expressionless face (flat affect) is a negative symptom. Loud and meaningless talking, inappropriate laughter, and uncontrollable outbursts of rage are more related to positive symptoms (presence of abnormal behaviors).
• Second question: Positive symptoms of schizophrenia (such as hallucinations, delusions) often respond better to drug therapy compared to negative symptoms. Bipolar and unipolar are related to mood disorders, not the typical categorization of schizophrenia symptoms in this context.

Answer:

1. An expressionless face
2. Positive
