Explanation:

Question 1

Acts of kindness and compassion are known to boost positive emotions. The option "We feel happier" aligns with psychological research on the emotional benefits of prosocial behavior. "Our threat mechanisms are set off" is incorrect (kindness reduces threat responses), and "We tend to dehumanize" is also incorrect (kindness promotes humanization).

A photo caption for a woman running should connect the visual (the photo) to the accompanying text (e.g., the article’s theme or context). "It connects the photo to the text" is correct. "It provides the author’s perspective" is less about the caption’s role for the photo, and "It gives a definition of exercise" is too narrow (the caption likely relates to the text’s context, not just defining exercise).

The idiom "opens the door" means to create an opportunity (make something more likely to happen). "Creates a point of entry or exit" is literal, and "treats with respect and kindness" is unrelated. The figurative meaning of the idiom aligns with "makes something more likely to happen."

Answer:

We feel happier.
