Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
In severe anxiety, a person may freeze and problem solving is difficult. A person is relatively relaxed and comfortable in mild anxiety. A person in moderate anxiety may feel energized and focused. A person at panic level has total loss of control.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
CNS stimulants, including caffeine and nicotine, increase anxiety symptoms such as heart rate and muscle tension. Relaxation techniques are invaluable in the management of stress and anxiety. Limiting the time to allow worrying will help control the invasive thoughts. One cannot avoid stressful situations and attempting to do so does not help in managing its af-fects.
