Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Alternative thinking techniques are those that facilitate a change in a person's perceptions from negative to positive. Reframing helps a person to analyze a stressful situation from various perspectives and ultimately conclude that the situation is not as bad as it once seemed. Alternative behavior is a technique for modifying stress by taking control rather than becoming immobilized. Making choices and pursuing actions promotes self-confidence over feeling victimized.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Alternative behaviors means behavioral approaches that help to reduce stress, including prioritizing what needs to be accomplished and initially attending to that which is most important or difficult. Less important activities may be postponed or delegated to others. Alternative thinking techniques are those that facilitate a change in a person's perceptions from negative to positive. People prone to stress can make a conscious effort to improve their diet, become more physically active, cultivate humor, and take scheduled breaks throughout the day for leisure, power naps, or listening to uplifting music. A negative technique may provide immediate temporary relief from a stressor, but it will eventually cause problems.
