Read the passage and answer the question. Recent studies indicate that about 50% of individuals struggle with managing anger in their daily lives. Unchecked anger can lead to physical health problems like high blood pressure and heart disease, as well as psychological issues such as anxiety and depression. Evidence suggests that anger management techniques, including cognitive therapy and mindfulness, reduce anger levels by an average of 35% within 6 months. However, only 25% of those advised to seek help actually pursue therapy. Interestingly, many individuals continue to underestimate the impact of chronic anger on their overall health. What is most likely to influence the effectiveness of anger management techniques, based on the passage? (a) Frequency of anger episodes (b) The individual’s openness to therapy (c) Duration of therapy sessions (d) Social support during treatment

Similar questions: Which of the following is not directly attributed (2083 · Science Practice Set B)

Answer

(b) The individual’s openness to therapy

The passage shows techniques work (35% reduction), yet few people take up therapy. Willingness to engage with the techniques is therefore the most likely factor in their effectiveness; frequency, duration and social support are not discussed.

(b) Most individuals actively seek therapy after being advised to. (c) Anger is mostly viewed as a temporary and inconsequential emotion. (d) Therapy is considered the primary solution for all anger-related issues.

Answer

(a) People underestimate the health risks of chronic anger.

The passage states that many individuals continue to underestimate the impact of chronic anger on their health, while only 25% pursue therapy when advised, which rules out (b), (c) and (d).

Unchecked anger can lead to physical health problems like high blood pressure and heart disease, as well as psychological issues such as anxiety and depression. Evidence suggests that anger management techniques, including cognitive therapy and mindfulness, reduce anger levels by an average of 35% within 6 months. However, only 25% of those advised to seek help actually pursue therapy. Interestingly, many individuals continue to underestimate the impact of chronic anger on their overall health. The 35% decrease in anger levels after therapy likely represents: (a) A temporary change that recovers quickly (b) A decrease that is linked to long-term lifestyle changes (c) A short-term improvement, requiring continual effort (d) A minimal change with little impact on overall well-being

Answer

(c) A short-term improvement, requiring continual effort

The 35% fall is an average within 6 months, so it is a limited, short-term gain. Sustaining it would need continued practice of the techniques; the passage gives no evidence of long-term lifestyle change or that the change is negligible.

Read the passage and answer the question. Exam stress is a common issue faced by students of all ages, particularly as exams approach. Research shows that a significant number of students experience high levels of anxiety during exams, which can affect both their academic performance and overall well-being. While some students thrive under pressure, many struggle to cope with the mounting expectations. The pressure to achieve high grades, coupled with fear of failure, often leads to physical symptoms such as headaches, sleeplessness, and digestive issues. Experts suggest that managing exam stress involves a combination of healthy study habits, proper time management, and relaxation techniques. Activities like mindfulness, regular physical exercise, and staying connected with friends and family are recommended to help alleviate stress. However, despite these strategies, many students still find it challenging to manage their stress effectively. Which symptom is commonly associated with stress during exams?
