Explanation:

First Question: What is a safe way to say no to alcohol at a party?

• Option a: Leaving the party immediately is extreme and not necessary just to avoid alcohol.
• Option b: Avoiding eye contact and ignoring is rude and not a positive way to handle the situation.
• Option c: Politely declining (e.g., saying "No, thank you") and sticking to the decision is respectful and assertive, a safe and appropriate way.
• Option d: Taking the drink and disposing secretly is dishonest and may lead to pressure to drink later or misunderstandings.

• Option a: Exercising releases endorphins, reduces stress, and is a healthy activity.
• Option b: Watching TV is passive and not an active stress - management technique, and excessive TV watching can be unhealthy.
• Option c: Overeating can lead to health problems like obesity and is not a healthy stress management method.
• Option d: Ignoring stress can make it worse over time and is not a healthy strategy.
