Question

paragraphs 26–32 of \fears and phobias\ describe how to overcome phobias. label the ideas in the order in which they appear in the passage. the first idea will be labeled 1, and the last will be labeled 4.
__ people make a list of their fears from least to greatest.
__ the brain adjusts to how it responds to fears in order to manage them.
__ people get control of their fears by gradually facing them.
__ people try to control situations involving the different fears they have.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the logical order of overcoming phobias:

1. First, people typically make a list of their fears from least to greatest (to organize what they need to face).
2. Next, they try to control situations involving the different fears (starting with the least intimidating to build confidence).
3. Then, they get control of their fears by gradually facing them (implementing exposure to the feared situations).
4. Finally, the brain adjusts to how it responds to fears (as a result of repeated exposure, the brain’s response changes to manage fears).

So the labeled order (from 1 to 4) is:

1. People make a list of their fears from least to greatest.
2. The brain adjusts to how it responds to fears in order to manage them.
3. People get control of their fears by gradually facing them.
4. People try to control situations involving the different fears they have.

(In the blanks, the numbers would be: 1, 4, 3, 2)
