You consider whether the behavior is atypical, dysfunctional, distressful, and/or deviant in order to assess whether it truly is a psychological disorder, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Explanation:

Psychological disorders refer to a combination of beliefs, thought patterns and behaviors that are clinically significant, and recurrently affect a person's social, emotional and occupational functioning. In this instance, if your brother's obsession with neatness is a problem and you are considering whether the behavior is atypical, dysfunctional, distressful, and/or deviant, you are likely checking if he has obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a type of anxiety disorder when a person has chronically intrusive and uncontrollable thoughts (obsessions), that lead to compulsive behaviors such as obsession with neatness, cleaning one's room, etc.

Thus, if you are trying to decide if your brother's obsession with neatness is a problem, you are assessing whether it truly is a psychological disorder, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder.

answer; i believe the answer is (b) fascism;

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
