Explanation:

These questions are about mindfulness, emotions, and brain functions, which fall under Psychology (a subfield of Social Science). To answer, we analyze each option:

1. Mindfulness helps recognize emotions early. A is extreme, B is unhelpful, D is impulsive. So C is correct.
2. Strong emotions activate the amygdala (alarm system). A is wrong (prefrontal cortex calms later), B is false (emotions cloud decisions), C is wrong (body tenses). So D is correct.
3. Mindfulness activates the prefrontal cortex (thinking center). B is false (amygdala still functions), C is wrong (reduces stress), D is extreme. So A is correct.
4. Focused breathing: typically breathe in for 4 counts (common practice). So C is correct.
5. Focused breathing is good before tests or when nervous. A, B, D are too restrictive. So C is correct.

(Note: Question 7 is partially obscured, but the above answers are for visible questions 2 - 6.)

2. D. Our brain's "alarm system" (amygdala) activates
3. A. It activates our brain's "thinking center" (prefrontal cortex)
4. C. 4 counts
5. C. Before a test or when feeling nervous
