Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Individuals who demonstrate an internal locus of control view their capability to have per-sonal success or failure as having to do with their own efforts and their ability to complete a task. An individual with an external locus of control views task completion as having to do with circumstances beyond his or her control. The options involving the economy, never be-ing able to pay off the bills, and having a family exhibit external control locus.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The pituitary gland secretes adrenocorticotropic hormone, which stimulates the adrenal cortex to release cortisol. Cortisol is involved in helping the entire body to react to the stress by mo-bilizing the energy reserves so that the body can rapidly respond to the stressors by either fighting or fleeing.
