Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Job stress can raise blood pressure over the long term, according to a study in the American Journal of Epidemiology. Men working 25 or more years in a demanding job where they felt they had little control had higher blood pressure at work and home than those who felt they had more control. The deterioration of health was not a result of the job itself but, rather, to the lack of control the worker felt. Feeling in control of our life reduces the unhealthy physiological changes induced by the stress response.
