Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Death anxiety refers to people's anxiety or even fear of death and dying. Terror management theory addresses the issue of why people engage in certain behaviors to achieve particular psychological states based on their deeply rooted concerns about mortality. The theory proposes that ensuring the continuation of one's life is the primary motive underlying behavior and that all other motives can be traced to this basic one. Being afraid to die means that we often go to great lengths to make sure we stay alive. One way to reduce death anxiety is through death education. Most death education programs combine factual information about death with issues aimed at reducing anxiety and fear to increase sensitivity to others' feelings.
