Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: A) Incorrect. This increased familiarity with the purpose of the Peace Corps will not help her deal with the immediate anticipatory stress. Anticipatory stress can instead be alleviated through prioritizing and short-term planning.
B) Incorrect. This would be an enactive strategy for eliminating stress but would not only eliminate the source of stress. Instead, it would eliminate her opportunity to serve with the Peace Corps. Less drastic options are available to her, including short-term plans or a small-wins strategy.
C) Correct. This is an example of the small-wins strategy for eliminating anticipatory stress.
D) Incorrect. This focuses on long-term plans rather than addressing Sarah's immediate anxieties. She should instead focus on short-term plans and achieving small wins.
