Optimistic people experience all of the following benefits EXCEPT

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Optimists do tend to have larger social support networks because their positive outlook makes them more approachable and better at maintaining relationships. However, this statement is not presented as an exception to the benefits experienced by optimistic people; rather, it is a benefit itself. The question asks for benefits except one, implying that the correct answer should not be a benefit. The misunderstanding here is due to the phrasing of the question and the answer choices. Each of the options listed (A, B, C, D) actually describes a benefit of being optimistic, contradicting the expectation to find an exception. Therefore, the initial guidance to select an exception was incorrect because all provided choices are indeed benefits of optimism.
