Answer:
The correct answer choice for the question: Anorexia nervosa is typically characterized by:____, would be: a fear of being fat.
Explanation:
Anorexia nervosa is described as an eating disorder which is characterized, like bulimia, by the presence of a pretty disturbed perception of their body by a person who suffers it. As such, when in reality the body of a person with anorexia nervosa may be extremely thin, and the normal indicators may be very low, the person cannot see it as his/her mind always perceives things in the opposite way. Thus, to them, even if in reality their body my be slender, or even on the dangerously thin side, their body will always look fat. The answer to the question is the last one because that is precisely what people with anorexia nervosa experience: an intense, pathological, absolutely abnormal, fear of being fat.
