    In the relaxed state, the parasympathetic nervous system returns to its' pre-stressed condition.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for promoting rest and relaxation in the body. When the body is in a relaxed state, the parasympathetic nervous system is activated and works to bring the body back to its pre-stressed condition. This includes slowing down the heart rate, promoting digestion, and conserving energy. Therefore, the statement is correct.

    _____ is an assessment of the surrounding environment is taken before decision making is made final.

    • Narrow-internal

    • Broad-internal

    • Narrow-external

    • Broad-external

    Correct Answer
    A. Broad-external
    Explanation
    Broad-external is the correct answer because it refers to the assessment of the surrounding environment before making a final decision. This means considering factors and influences that are outside of the organization or individual, such as market conditions, competition, and customer preferences. Taking a broad external perspective allows for a more comprehensive evaluation of the situation and helps ensure that decisions are informed by the larger context in which they will be implemented.

    • Alexander technique

    • Meditation

    • Autogenic training

    • Progressive relaxation

    • Massage

    Correct Answer
    A. Progressive relaxation
    Explanation
    Progressive relaxation is a technique that helps people recognize different levels of tension in their voluntary muscles. By systematically tensing and then relaxing each muscle group in the body, individuals become more aware of the tension they hold and can learn to reduce it. This technique allows individuals to consciously relax their muscles, promoting relaxation and reducing overall tension in the body.

    Narrow-internal attention is the analytical thoughts and strategy development focus.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement suggests that narrow-internal attention refers to analytical thoughts and strategy development focus. However, the correct answer is False. This means that narrow-internal attention does not solely encompass analytical thoughts and strategy development focus. There may be other factors or aspects involved in narrow-internal attention that are not mentioned in the statement.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    To concentrate or remain in focus requires systematic physical strategies.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that concentration or focus can only be achieved through physical strategies. However, this is not entirely true. While physical strategies like creating a conducive environment or practicing mindfulness can aid in concentration, mental strategies such as goal-setting, time management, and eliminating distractions also play a crucial role. Therefore, concentration and focus require a combination of both physical and mental strategies, making the given statement false.
