Answer 5 - A (primarily reasearch)
Since EEG researchers have shown that sleep-walking occurs during slow wave, non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep not while dreaming which occurs in REM sleep.
Answer 6 - B Hindsight Bias, because its the bias which explains why people have an inclination, after some event has happened, that they knew the outcome since the start or it was predictable. Despite having little or no knowledge about that event or on how to predict it.
So many people after they have heard a psychology concept perceive that it was quite predictable.
Answer 7 - A Hindsight Bias, since a correct scientifc attitude would be to have an open-mind about the results at the start as well as at the end of study rather than assuming, that "I knew it all along" as that might subject the research process to some errors.
Answer 8 - Overconfidence
Since despite facts suggesting there is a chance their marriage might end in divorce, her opinions totally disregard it. Positive thinking could seem like an answer here, but that would have been if she thinks they'll be together forever but still thinks there might be a chance that they won't, since that won't be complete disregard to the facts
