Question

After overcoming the initial shock of having her car stolen, Marlys calls the police for help and begins to question possible witnesses. At this point, Marlys is most likely in the ________ stage of the general adaptation syndrome.a. resistanceb. exhaustionc. fight-or-flightd. adjustmente. stress appraisal

Answer 1

a. resistance

Step-by-step explanation:

After overcoming the initial shock, Marlys is most likely in the resistance stage. In the resistance stage, the person overcame the problem and the body starts stabilizing but remains on alert; this is called the recovery phase. The statement is telling us that Marlys already overcame the problem and that is when she called the police to start filing the robbery. If the statement would have told us that she continued crying and got emotionally worst, then she would have entered the exhaustion stage, but she didn’t.
