Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: A) Incorrect. An enactive strategy is one in which the individual creates a new environment that does not contain the stressor (e.g., changing careers to avoid stressful job situations).
B) Incorrect. A proactive strategy is one in which the individual initiates actions that resist the negative effects of stress (e.g., beginning an exercise regimen).
C) Correct. Reactive strategies are those which temporarily reduce the effects of the stress.
D) Incorrect. Resistance is actually a stage of the stress progression rather than a specific coping strategy.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
