Question

Roger has a full-time job, a part-time job, and a new consulting company in response to his son's special needs. He seems to be coping with everything quite well, for the moment anyway. According to Hans Selye, he is in which stage of the general adaptation syndrome?

A. Phase 4, unable to recover
B. Phase 3, in a state of exhaustion
C. Phase 2, in a state of resistance
D. Phase 1, experiencing an alarm reaction

Answer 1

The answer is C. Phase 2, in a state of resistance.

Step-by-step explanation:

This occurs after the first phase, in which the body feels shocked and buried under stress. In phase two, the body begins to feel more relaxed due to the lower production of cortisol and the normalization of blood pressure. It is possible, however, that the body stays alert for a short time --if Roger, in this example, keeps everything under control, according to phase two it will be possible for his body to keep "repairing itself".
