Explanation:

Question 6

Positive reframing involves changing one's perspective to a more positive or neutral one. When someone cuts you off in traffic, positive reframing helps manage stress. Option A is incorrect as positive reframing doesn't change the other driver's behavior. Option B is wrong as positive reframing is about personal mindset, not others' perception of weakness. Option D is incorrect as positive reframing does have a benefit (stress reduction). Option C is correct because positive reframing reduces stress, so pulse and blood pressure stay closer to normal.

Effective reframing means changing the perspective to be more empathetic or positive. Option A is about avoiding the person, not reframing. Option B is a kind act but not reframing (it's an action, not a perspective shift). Option C is negative and not reframing. Option D involves thinking about the person's situation empathetically, which is positive reframing.

Answer:

C. Your pulse and blood pressure will stay closer to normal range
