17. c) Type I and Type II stressors. stressors are classified as type I and type II. in type I stressors the threat is sudden, identifiable and can be solved by direct action. in type II stressor the threat is unidentifiable, abstract and cannot be solved by any direct action.

19. b) having low self esteem. the biopsychosocial model states that disease is caused due to interaction of biological factors like genes and biochemicals etc., psychological factors like mood, personality and behavior etc., and social factors like culture, family, society etc. here Chuck already has a biological disease of arthritis as well as a social problem of taking care of three grandchildren. the only listed psychological problem in the options is having low self esteem which would worsen his condition.

20. d) all of the above. laurens positive attitude will decrease her chances of suffering from hypertension and diabetes which eventually reduces chances of further biological diseases and as a result she would live longer than her friends and will have a stronger immunity system.
