Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Negative emotions occur when there is a threat to, delay in, or thwarting of a goal or a conflict between goals; these emotions include anger, fright, anxiety, guilt, shame, sadness, envy, jealousy, and disgust. Positive emotions occur when there is movement toward, or attainment of, a goal; examples include happiness, pride, relief, and love. Borderline emotions are somewhat ambiguous and include hope, compassion, empathy, sympathy, and contentment. Nonemotions connote emotional reactions but are too ambiguous to fit into any of the preceding categories; these include confidence, awe, confusion, and excitement.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
With the fight-or-flight response, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, leading to an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar. Hyperactivation of the hemostatic and coagulation systems, leading to hypercoagulability to prevent excessive bleeding from wounds, also occurs, but it is not related to sympathetic nervous system activation.
