Solution

Answer

The answer is (C) exhaustion stage

Explanation
Option (A): Alarm stage

The alarm stage is the initial reaction to a stressor, where the body recognizes the stress and initiates the fight-or-flight response. This stage is characterized by the release of stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. Terri's symptoms suggest a more prolonged exposure to stress rather than an initial reaction.

Option (B): Resistance stage

The resistance stage is where the body attempts to adapt to the stressor. During this stage, the body remains on high alert and continues to release stress hormones. However, this stage is more about coping with the stress rather than collapsing from it.

Option (C): Exhaustion stage

The exhaustion stage occurs when the body's ability to resist is depleted, and it can no longer maintain normal function. This stage is characterized by burnout, fatigue, and a breakdown of bodily functions, which aligns with Terri's collapse after prolonged stress and lack of sleep and nutrition.

Option (D): Adjustment stage

There is no "adjustment stage" in Hans Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome, making this option invalid.

Answer

The answer is (A) A person that was sexually abused as a child may develop a homosexual orientation.

Explanation
Option (A): A person that was sexually abused as a child may develop a homosexual orientation.

This statement is false. Sexual orientation is not determined by experiences of sexual abuse. Research indicates that sexual orientation is a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors, and not a direct result of abuse.

Option (B): Sexual orientation refers to the erotic feelings you have towards males, females, or both sexes.

This statement is true. Sexual orientation is defined by the pattern of emotional, romantic, or sexual attraction to men, women, both, or neither.

Option (C): It's possible for identical twins to have different sexual orientations.

This statement is true. While identical twins share the same genetic makeup, they can have different sexual orientations, indicating that factors beyond genetics play a role in determining sexual orientation.

Option (D): People choose their sexual orientation.

This statement is false. Sexual orientation is not a choice; it is an inherent aspect of an individual's identity.
