Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D, E
The number of stressors present at one time, the degree of change the stressors require, present role assumption, and previous experience with a similar situation are all factors that can influence the level of anxiety experienced when faced with a stressful situation. The level of anxiety experienced is also influenced by how the event is perceived by the individual, not how the event is perceived by others.
