Question

Melia is walking onstage to play a guitar solo at her school talent show when she trips on a wire and starts to fall and drop her guitar. She quickly lowers her left hand to the floor to stop her fall and raises her right hand to protect the guitar. Which stage of stress does this example illustrate?

Answer 1

This illustrate the beginning start of the stress response before she cognitively realizes what has happened but instead reacts very rapidly with the help of her reflexes, she sees that she cannot fall on the floor but also acknowledges that her guitar shouldn't fall on the floor either. 

Answer 2

Answer : Resistance

Explanation : When melia was walking onstage to play a guitar at the talent show in school, she trips on a wire and starts to fall this was the first stage where an alarm stage of stress was identified; and then a burst of energy was felt in the brain. Later in the second stage, known as the resistance stage, she attempted to lower her hand to stop and right hand to protect the guitar; here, she attempted to resist and get adapt to the stressor.

Therefore, the stage of Resistance is the example which is illustrated in this question.
