Which answer addresses BOTH girls' reactions?

A!! thank you!

No, the correct answer is A. Perception of stress varies among individuals. This is evident from the fact that Phyllis is anxious to ride the parachute drop while Betsy feels faint at the thought and does not enjoy watching others ride. Different individuals have different perceptions and reactions to stressful situations or activities. This does not necessarily indicate any abnormality in Betsy's perception.

To determine the correct option, let's analyze the statements. Phyllis is anxious and excited about riding the parachute drop, while Betsy feels faint and does not enjoy watching others ride.

Option A suggests that the varying reactions demonstrate that perception of stress varies among individuals. This is a plausible explanation since different people can perceive and react to stress in different ways.

Option B suggests that some activities are ambiguous. While it is true that some activities can be ambiguous, it doesn't directly relate to the different reactions of Phyllis and Betsy in this context.

Option C suggests that Betsy has never had an opportunity to really enjoy the ride. This statement is not supported by the given information.

Option D suggests that Betsy probably has an abnormal perception of life activities. This statement is conjectural and not supported by any evidence or information provided.

Based on the given information, Option A - perception of stress varies among individuals - seems to be the most accurate explanation. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
