(Answer to Q. 1)  c

(Answer to Q. 2)  I would run two conditions of a functional analysis. One condition in which when Larry's dad is busy, and Larry throws a tantrum, his dad reinforces his problem behavior by sitting down and talking with him. The other condition would be one in which Larry's dad provides frequent attention, and if Larry throws a tantrum, his dad continues to work and does not reinforce his problem behavior by sitting down and talking with him.

(Answer to Q. 3)  a

(Answer to Q. 4)  FALSE

(Answer to Q. 5)  b

(Answer to Q. 6)  TRUE
