To answer these questions, you need to have some knowledge of psychology and specifically, the topic of Alzheimer's disease. Let's go through each question and explain how to arrive at the correct answer:

1.5: This question asks about a cueing technique used to help a person with Alzheimer's disease. To answer this question, you need to understand the theories and strategies used in memory adaptation for individuals with dementia. The cueing technique mentioned in the question is derived from the cognitive theory. Therefore, the correct answer is C) cognitive.

1.6: This question asks about the effects of damage to Broca's area, which is a region in the left hemisphere of the brain responsible for language production. To answer this question, you need to understand the functions associated with Broca's area. Damage to Broca's area results in difficulties in speech production, so the correct answer is D) speak fluently.

1.7: This question asks about a possible subtype of Alzheimer's disease based on symptoms described by a patient. To answer this question, you need to have knowledge of the different subtypes of Alzheimer's disease and their symptoms. The patient's complaint of her son trying to kill her suggests the presence of delusions, so the correct answer is B) with delusions.

1.8: This question asks about a potential organic disorder based on changes in an individual's personality. To answer this question, you need to understand the different organic disorders that can result in personality changes. The description of the individual becoming impulsive and socially disinhibited suggests a possible diagnosis of Pick's disease. Therefore, the correct answer is D) Pick's disease.

1.9: This question asks about the differences between cognitive impairments in Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. To answer this question, you need to understand the characteristics and patterns of cognitive deficits in these two disorders. Alzheimer's disease is characterized by gradual global cognitive losses, while vascular dementia is associated with sudden and selective cognitive losses. Therefore, the correct answer is B) Alzheimer's clients suffer from global cognitive losses; clients with vascular dementia suffer from selective losses.

1.10: This question asks about the usefulness of family therapy in treating aspects of Alzheimer's disease. To answer this question, you need to understand the benefits of family therapy in addressing the challenges and concerns faced by family members of individuals with Alzheimer's disease. Family therapy helps in addressing the frustrations and concerns of family members trying to cope with the identified patient. Therefore, the correct answer is C) the frustrations and concerns of family members trying to cope with the identified patient.

So, the correct answers are 5.B, 6.A, 7.C, 8.B, 9.B, 10.C.
