Answer 1

The correct stages in the cycle of intimate partner violence are tension, explosion, remorse, and honeymoon, representing a cycle that often repeats itself without intervention.

Step-by-step explanation:

The four stages in the cycle of intimate partner violence (IPV), in order, are tension, explosion, remorse, and honeymoon. The correct order is therefore: tension building, abusive incident or explosion, remorse (apologies and attempts to minimize or deny the abuse), and honeymoon phase (calm and loving behavior, with promises that it will never happen again). Unfortunately, without intervention, this cycle tends to repeat itself, becoming more dangerous over time.
