Answer to Question 1

C
Change agents constantly look for ways to improve a situation and use their critical thinking skills to develop innovative solutions; they are proactive rather than reactive. Change agents can transform an entire system as well as individual situations.

Answer to Question 2

B
Change is a dynamic process of adaptation that occurs as an individual responds to a stressor; it is an integral part of life. Change can be planned or unplanned, self-initiated or externally imposed, constructive or destructive; it can occur suddenly or gradually and requires energy to initiate and to resist.
