Explanation:

Question #3

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) estimates that more than 25% of Americans suffer from mental illness in a given year. The 2% is too low, 35% and 75% are not in line with the NIMH's estimates.

• Malingering is feigning illness, not a true mental illness with delusions.
• Depression is characterized by low mood, lack of interest, etc., not delusions of grandeur like thinking one is Napoleon.
• Psychosis involves a loss of contact with reality, including delusions (like believing one is a historical figure governing the world).
• Schizophrenia has psychosis symptoms but also other features like disorganized thinking, and the specific delusion here is more characteristic of psychosis in general (though schizophrenia is a type of psychotic disorder, the question's description of a delusion of grandeur fits psychosis as the broader category here).

Answer:

A. 25%
