Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Angela perceives the quiz as a threat because she is not prepared for it, which can create stress and anxiety in the moment. Choice A, a challenge, would suggest that Angela feels confident and motivated to do well on the quiz even though she has not yet read the chapter. Choice C, Type A stressor, is a specific type of personality that is associated with chronic stress and a sense of time urgency. Choice D, chronic stressor, refers to a persistent stressor over a prolonged period of time, which is not applicable in this scenario since the stressor (the quiz) is a one-time event.
