Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Coping does not imply mastery over the crisis; rather, it is the process that is used to respond to the crisis and find resolution. Working on rebuilding the home is an example of this pro-cess. The remaining option show varying degrees of attempting to justify or minimize the cri-sis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Phase 2: Previous coping and problem-solving strategies fail to relieve the stressor. Phase 1: The individual is exposed to a stressor. Phase 3: Resources from within and outside of the individual are mobilized to resolve the problem and to alleviate the discomfort caused by the stressor. Note that people may drop out of situations in numerous ways, including self-medication with alcohol. Phase 4: The absence of crisis resolution leads to major disor-ganization such as self-injurious behavior.
