Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The statement suggests that stress increases cooperation by the interviewee. However, this is not true.

A. All of the above

Explanation

The signs of stress that would show in an interviewee's face include paleness, red blotchy spots on the face and neck, and lack of expression. When a person is stressed, their blood vessels constrict, causing a pale complexion. Stress can also lead to increased blood flow, resulting in red, blotchy spots on the face and neck. Additionally, stress can cause a lack of expression, as the individual may be tense or anxious. Therefore, all of the given options are correct signs of stress that can be observed in an interviewee's face.
