Answer to Question 1

The three basic control types are feedforward, concurrent, and feedback. Feedforward ensures that problems are prevented before they occur. Concurrent control takes place as the work is being carried out. And feedback control is the least useful type of control since it occurs after a process has been completed.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: A) Incorrect. Enactive strategies entail taking control over the stressor. Bill is simply developing some proactive habits to help him deal better with his stress.
B) Correct. Proactive strategies are habits and practices that increase one's resilience over the long term.
C) Incorrect. Reactive strategies involve short-term activities that temporarily alleviate the burdens of stress, not long-term habits like Bill is striving to develop.
D) Incorrect. Distractive is not one of the strategies of stress management.
