Explanation:

Question 11

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A (Closure): Refers to accepting a loss, resolving emotions about it.
• Option B (Mourning): Is the expression of sorrow for a loss, not the acceptance.
• Option C (Coping): Deals with managing stress/changes, not specific to loss acceptance.
• Option D (Intimacy): Relates to close relationships, irrelevant here.

So closure is about accepting a loss.

Analyze each option:

• Option A (Mourning): Is expressing sorrow for a loss, not dealing with life changes.
• Option B (Closure): Is accepting a loss, not general life change management.
• Option C (Coping): Defined as successfully dealing with difficult life changes/stressors.
• Option D (Infatuation): Is intense but short - lived attraction, irrelevant.

Thus, coping is about dealing with difficult life changes.

Analyze each option:

• Option A (Coping): Is managing stress/changes, not showing sorrow.
• Option B (Mourning): Is the act of showing sorrow, especially for a loss.
• Option C (Trauma): Is a distressing event, not showing sorrow.
• Option D (Criticism): Is evaluating/judging, irrelevant.

So mourning is the act of showing sorrow.

Answer:

A. Closure
