Answer 1

Answer:Enzo is relying on theA) two-factor theory of emotion.

Explanation:

Two factor theory of emotions states that our emotions are defined by two factors physical arousal and a cognitive label. We first experience a physical reaction which is then interpreted by our brain to tell us what kind of arousal we are experiencing at that moment.

For example when you walk in a dark and someone approaches you the first thing is a strange person is walking towards you , your heart trembles which is a result of fear your overall conclusion will be that you are frightened.

Physcal arousal here is your heart beat and trembling cognitive label is your reaction to fear. The environment have an impact on how you respond physcally.

it is likely that Vendela will be frightened by the horror movie this fear may cause her to physically react by hiding on Enzo and squeezing Enzo tightly as she hides herself on him. Which according to Enzo,Vendela will take as an indication of attraction towards him.
