Answer to Question 1

B
The most familiar rhythm is the 24-hour, day-night cycle known as the diurnal or circadian rhythm. Light and temperature affect all circadian rhythms, including the sleep-wake cycle.

Answer to Question 2

B
Family hardiness is the internal strengths and durability of the family unit. A sense of control over the outcome of life, a view of change as beneficial and growth producing, and an active rather than passive orientation in adapting to stressful events characterize family hardiness.
