Answer to Question 1

B
Past experiences are occurrences that result in learned patterns that can influence an individual's current adaptation response. They include previous exposure to the stressor or other stressors in general, learned coping responses, and degree of adaptation to previous stressors.

Answer to Question 2

D
Individuals differ in response to life events. The RLCQ uses a scale that does not take these differences into consideration.
