normal

obese

anorexic

overweight

Explanation:

• For the first question:
• The James - Lange theory posits that physiological arousal (e.g., increased heart rate) comes before the cognitive experience of an emotion. For example, if you see a bear, your heart starts pounding (physiological arousal) and then you feel fear (emotion).
• The Cognitive - mediational theory emphasizes the role of appraisal (cognitive evaluation) in emotions.
• The Schachter and Singer theory combines physiological arousal and cognitive labeling.
• The Cannon - Bard theory states that physiological arousal and emotional experience occur simultaneously.
• For the second question:
• According to the CDC, a BMI of 30 or higher is classified as obese. Greg's BMI is 42.7, which is well above 30. A normal BMI is typically 18.5 - 24.9, overweight is 25 - 29.9, and anorexia is an eating disorder not directly defined by BMI in the same way as these weight - based categories.

• First question: James - Lange
