Answer to Question 1
Answer: The student has seven to choose from, as listed in Table 13.3 on page 389. They need to describe two of the seven and present some idea of how each functions.

For example, they could mention that highly resilient people tend to describe their lives as meaningful, and that there is evidence that having meaning in ones life creates positive emotions with all the benefits that positive emotions engender.
