In the scenario in which Hannah's doctors are convinced that her physical symptoms are not real, but they cannot decide whether this is an instance of malingering or factitious disorder answering the question whether she is achieving some specific external gain will best help them to choose between these two possibilities.

The correct answer is: whether she is achieving some specific external gain.

Malingering refers to the phenomenon where an individual pretends to be unwell in order to escape work, skip school, or other reasons motivated by external gain. Factitious disorder on the other hand refers to when an individual exaggerates or pretends to be ill in order to gain sympathy and attention from others. Malingering is motivated by achieving some external gains, however, factitious disorder is not motivated by the same.

  a) written constitution. also known as magna carta and a necessity of the democracies that form federations to regulate the principles by which the government will be governed, because if they had to act without a body of specific laws would produce confrontations.

b) territorial division. federalism is constituted by the division of powers on the geographical basis of each territory.

c) decentralization. in a federal system there is both a central government and units of government lower than the central one, each making decisions regarding the provision of certain public services in their respective geographical jurisdictions.

d) supreme court of justice. to counteract the rigidity of the written constitution, judicial action is required to interpret said constitution and necessary changes can be made.
