Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Males tend to respond using the fight-or-flight response, in which they either attack their adversary or flee from it. Shelley Taylor argues that this response is not adaptive for females who are pregnant or caring for young offspring, and has suggested that females may use a tend-and-befriend response instead. They focus on caring for others and developing social networks with them. This pattern of responding increases the likelihood of both the female and her young surviving, in line with predictions of evolutionary psychology. Fight-or-flight often involves hostility, which is associated with cardiovascular problems, and tend-and-befriend involves using social support, which fosters mental if not physical health. However, the existence of a general pattern of differences does not mean that men don't seek social support or that women don't aggress.
