Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Resilience is the capacity to adapt constructively to difficulty. External locus of control places control of one's life on other people and on circumstances outside the self. Internal locus of control places control within the self. Primary appraisal occurs when an individual determines whether or not the event or stressor will impact his or her well-being.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Promoting the capacity to adapt constructively to difficulty requires facing challenges. Reflection can help the individual to learn and adapt. Resilience requires a balanced approach to life. Positive emotions promote resilience.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
