Explanation:

Question 31

The general adaptation syndrome (GAS) has three stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. It begins with the alarm stage, where the body reacts to a stressor.

Piaget's assimilation is when a child uses existing schemas to interpret new information. Matt uses his schema for "MiMi" (his cat) to interpret the puppy, so he is assimilating.

Authoritative parenting is firm but responsive, explaining rules and considering the teen's reasons. Authoritarian is strict without explanation, permissive is lenient, uninvolved is detached, and insecure attachment is not a parenting style.

Answer:

d. alarm
