Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D
As stress increases, the focus narrows, with no attention to detail, and problem-solving skills decrease, which leads to irrational behavior and indecisiveness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Excessive or prolonged use of a defense mechanism to avoid dealing with stress is not a healthy use of defense mechanisms.
