Answer to Question 1

Selye saw exhaustion as the key to the link: after prolonged stress, the body can no longer respond appropriately and is subsequently damaged. Cannon saw chronic arousal as most important to the link: experiencing fight-or-flight arousal, without being able to fight or flee, causes prolonged arousal of the sympathetic nervous system, which in turn causes physical damage to the body.

Answer to Question 2

According to Richard Lazarus, any given life event can be a stressor if it is considered stressful by the individual. Primary appraisal is the evaluation of the challenge, threat, or harm posed by an event. Secondary appraisal is the assessment of one's ability and resources for coping with a difficult event.
