This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

David washes his hands excessively, even when his hands are not dirty. Ellen checks that all burners on the stove are turned off at least five times before she goes to bed, whenever she is ready to leave the house, and when she first wakes up in the morning. David's behavior BEST illustrates a(n) _____ and Ellen's behavior BEST illustrates a(n) _____.

A. obsession; obsession

B. obsession; compulsion

C. compulsion; compulsion

D. compulsion; obsession

Answer:

The best answer is letter C. compulsion; compulsion

Explanation:

<u>Both David and Ellen are displaying compulsion, a repetitive behavior that is performed to respond to an urge, so as to lower the person's distress. Such behaviors are performed according to rituals and rules. Ellen, for instance, checks the burners five times. If she checks them only 4 times, she will feel the urge to go check them again, otherwise she will be worried and anxious about them.</u>

An obsession, on the other hand, is an intrusive thought or image that repetitively comes to a person's mind, causing distress. An obsession may lead to a compulsion. We cannot say David or Ellen are displaying obsession since we were not provided with their thoughts or the reason behind their compulsive behaviors.

Why are police not allowed to search you and take you stuff without a good reason
alisha [4.7K]
Police can only search you or your 'stuff', if they have reasonable doubts that you are carrying something criminal. Criminal items can include drugs, weapons, evidence of a crime, etc. 
Thank you! :D

The answer is Foraging. As already there is a shortage of food, it is important to have a method to foraging.

<h3 /><h3>What is Food?</h3>

Food is a consumable that is consumed by individuals by their  own choice at most of the times, this food gives them energy to survive and growth.

There are many different types of foods around the world, the best is to have a perfectly balanced diet for the most beneficial results.

As the professor assigns to an isolated society they have to search for food and this is known as Foraging. Individuals roam in order to search for food for survival and they gather the food they find and then all individuals of the society consume the food together.

Mostly the food hunting or search is for the fish i.e sea animals, plants are also a good source of food so that is also searched for.
