Explanation:

First Question:

The statement attributes depression to genetic and brain chemistry factors, which is core to the Biological perspective (focuses on biological/physiological causes like genetics, neurochemistry). Other perspectives: Psychodynamic (unconscious, early childhood), Behavioral (learning, conditioning), Cognitive (thoughts), Humanistic (self - actualization), Socio - Cultural (social/cultural factors) don't focus on these biological aspects.

The statement links depression to perception and thoughts (how thoughts “betray us”), which is the focus of the Cognitive perspective (emphasizes thoughts, perceptions, and cognitive processes in mental health). Other perspectives don't center on thought processes as this does.

The statement describes depression as unexpressed anger (a repressed emotion, related to unconscious processes and defense mechanisms), which aligns with the Psychodynamic perspective (focuses on unconscious conflicts, repressed emotions, early childhood experiences). Other perspectives don't emphasize repressed emotions/unconscious processes like this.

Answer:

Biological
