Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Stress doesn't always look like a stressor response. Some people internalize stress. They withdraw or seem disengaged from an obvious stressor, when stressed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Current research suggests that men and women respond to stress differently. Men respond with patterns of fight or flight while women use a tend and befriend approach. Women use nurturing activities to reduce stress and promote safety for self and others. They seek social support from others, particularly from other women.
