Question 5 (4 points) Emma is preparing for her English final exam when her mother enters the room and says, "I know you have been working really hard this
semester. If you end this semester with a 4.0, we will go car shopping this weekend!" Emma has wanted a car ever since she got her license a
year ago. After her mom closes the door, Emma feels her shoulders tighten and her heart starts to race.
Using what you have learned about the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS), answer the following questions:
1. State what stage of GAS Emma is in.
2. Explain why Emma's body responded the way it did.

i believe alarm reaction stage...

Explanation:

The alarm reaction stage refers to the initial symptoms the body experiences when under stress. You may be familiar with the “fight-or-flight” response, which is a physiological response to stress. This natural reaction prepares you to either flee or protect yourself in dangerous situations. Your heart rate increases, your adrenal gland releases cortisol (a stress hormone), and you receive a boost of adrenaline, which increases energy. This fight-or-flight response occurs in the alarm reaction stage.

Let's break this down. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." We know by using common knowledge and context clues that eternal means inside, or inner, and is used to describe anything happening inside the body, more commonly feelings and choices determined by heart and soul. Vigilance means constantly being cautious and careful, watching for danger. And the price of liberty can be technically called the price of freedom. Inner caution is the price of freedom. It probably makes no sense. I think personally, this means being watchful, guarding your mind, and watching for dangers in society, is the price of freedom. Always being on the lookout to keep yourself and others safe is the price of being free. Hope this made sense!!
