The correct answers are:

  • an increase in allostatic load
  • frequent activation of the body's stress response
  • poor overall immunity

Explanation:

  1. An increase in allostatic load: Allostatic load refers to the cumulative burden of chronic stress and life events. Sara's test anxiety and subsequent collapse with a cold suggest that her body has been under significant stress, leading to an increased allostatic load.

  2. Frequent activation of the body's stress response: Sara's test anxiety likely causes her stress response system to be activated frequently during the week of exams. This frequent activation can lead to exhaustion and a weakened immune system, making her more susceptible to illness.

  3. Poor overall immunity: The fact that Sara collapses with a cold after a stressful week indicates that her immune system may be compromised. Chronic stress is known to weaken the immune system, making individuals more prone to infections.

The option "a decrease in allostatic load" is incorrect because Sara's situation suggests an increase, not a decrease, in allostatic load due to the stress and subsequent illness.
