Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positive symptoms, which involve the presence of something that should not be present, such as hallucinations and delusions, are commonly seen in schizophrenia. Negative symptoms, which involve the absence of something that should be present, such as lack of emotion or motivation, are also a common symptom. However, choice A is incorrect because delusions are a positive symptom, not negative. Choice C is partially correct in that flat affect is a negative symptom, but it is not commonly seen as a primary symptom in schizophrenia. Choice D is incorrect because sensory distortion is not a recognized symptom in schizophrenia.
