is malingering
is insane
is psychotic

question # 2
multiple choice
throughout history, mental illness has always been a problem to society and treated humanely.
false
true

Explanation:

Question #1

Malingering is the intentional fabrication or exaggeration of symptoms (here, faking intellectual disability) to achieve a goal (like avoiding blame). Insane, psychotic, or having a mental illness imply genuine mental conditions, not faking. So the suspect faking is malingering.

Historically, mental illness was often treated inhumane ways (e.g., asylums with poor conditions, stigma, harsh treatments). So the statement that it was always treated humanely is false.

Answer:

A. is malingering
