Question

question 1 (mandatory) (1 point) saved
the benefits of humor include all of the following except:

• pain relief
• increased oxygen to the body
• stress management
• self - deprecation

question 2 (mandatory) (1 point)
which of the following is considered a negative type of \humor\ that is often an indicator of hidden hostility?

• double entendre
• self - deprecating
• sarcasm
• farcical

Explanation:

Question 1

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Pain relief: Humor can help with pain relief (e.g., by releasing endorphins).
• Increased oxygen: Laughing (from humor) increases oxygen intake.
• Stress management: Humor reduces stress.
• Self - deprecation: This is a type of humor (making fun of oneself), not a benefit of humor. So the answer is the option with self - deprecation.

We analyze each option:

• Double entendre: A play on words with two meanings, not necessarily negative or hostile.
• Self - deprecating: Making fun of oneself, usually not hostile.
• Sarcasm: Often used to convey hidden hostility or criticism in a mocking way.
• Farcical: Related to absurd or ridiculous humor, not typically hostile. So the answer is sarcasm.

Answer:

D. self - deprecation (assuming the options are labeled A - D with A: pain relief, B: increased oxygen to the body, C: stress management, D: self - deprecation)
