Answer to Question 1

B
In the early part of the twentieth century, the fight-or-flight response was described. This arousal of the sympathetic nervous system prepares a person for action by increasing heart rate; diverting blood from the intestines to the brain and striated muscles; and increasing blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood glucose levels.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Homeless children face barriers, such as meeting residency requirements for public schools and inability to obtain previous enrollment records, when enrolling and attending school. These children frequently lack adult supervision to assist them with homework and other school-related projects and issues. As a result, these children are more likely to drop out of school, develop risky behaviors, and become unemployable. Homeless families and their children are at serious risk for developing long-term health, psychological, and socioeconomic problems, thus posing a major challenge for our entire society.
