Question

what is the purpose of the boxed feature after paragraph 7?
to describe why some people cannot feel fear
to explain how phobias are not the same as fear
to point out that some people react positively to fear
to list different types of frightening activities

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The question is about a boxed feature’s purpose, not explaining why people can’t feel fear (this is off - topic).
• Option 2: The feature is not about distinguishing phobias from fear (no indication of this focus).
• Option 3: A boxed feature after a paragraph often provides additional context or a contrasting point. Pointing out some people react positively to fear (while others may react negatively) fits as a purpose to add nuance about fear responses.
• Option 4: The feature is not about listing frightening activities (the question is about purpose related to fear’s context, not activity types).

Answer:

C. To point out that some people react positively to fear
