  1. The answer is the fourth one: epinephrine.

Explanation:

  • Parathormone: This hormone is involved in regulating calcium levels in the blood, not directly related to stress.
  • Thyroxine: This hormone is involved in regulating metabolism and energy levels, but it is not primarily associated with stress response.
  • Aldosterone: This hormone helps regulate sodium and potassium levels and blood pressure, but it is not the primary hormone for stress.
  • Epinephrine: Also known as adrenaline, this hormone is released by the adrenal glands and plays a crucial role in the body's fight-or-flight response to stress.
  1. The answer is the first one: excessive thirst.

Explanation:

  • Excessive thirst: The term "polydipsia" is derived from "poly-" meaning many or excessive, and "dipsia" meaning thirst, so it refers to excessive thirst.
  • Excessive urination: This condition is known as "polyuria," not polydipsia.
  • Increased food intake: This condition is known as "polyphagia," not polydipsia.

In summary, epinephrine is the hormone that helps the body deal with stress, and polydipsia means excessive thirst.

Perry and his buddies were ecstatic about whiling away the muggy afternoon at a nearby waterfall. Nothing beat this hidden oasis for escaping the summer's oppressive heat. However, as the boys were splashing in the cascade's refreshing pool, they didn't notice an enormous thunderhead moving in until it blotted out the sunlight. Crisp, hard winds kicked up, ripping a chill through the humidity. The boys simultaneously reached the pool's edge just as the first sharp wave of thunder cracked. Lit by flashes of lightning and shivering, they sprinted to the shelter of Perry's car. What role does the change in weather play in the plot?
