Answer:

(A) obsessive compulsive disorder

Explanation:

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is <em>a mental illness that is characterized by the compulsion to perform certain tasks in a certain way and/or the preoccupation with certain thoughts uncontrollably.</em> The latter is the obsessive component of OCD.

The classic OCD depiction is shown in the question, with a person obsessed with cleanliness and thus have a compulsion to wash his hands after meeting strangers to ensure that he is continously clean.

Though many of us might have certain characteristics that look 'OCD-like', <u>a diagnosis can only be made when the behavior is causing distress and/or inability to function on a day-to-day basis. </u>

How did Charles de Gaulle's government treat members of the Vichy government and those who were seen as Nazi sympathizers or col
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

n November 8, 1942, in the thick of World War II, thousands of American soldiers landed on the Atlantic coast of Morocco, while others amassed in Algeria, only to take immediate gunfire from the French. Needless to say, it marked the end of U.S. diplomatic relations with the Vichy government installed in France during WWII.

The invasion of North Africa—a joint venture between the United Kingdom and the United States known as Operation Torch—was intended to open up another front of the war, but the colonial power in the region was France, purportedly a neutral party in World War II. After all, France had signed an armistice with Adolf Hitler on June 22, 1940, within weeks of being overrun by German soldiers. Yet as the National Interest reports, “Instead of welcoming [the Americans] with brass bands, as one sergeant predicted, Vichy France’s colonial forces fought back with everything they had.”
