The correct answer is A. A panic attack

Explanation:

In psychology, a panic attack refers to a short period (around 30 minutes) in which individuals experience sudden, abrupt and intense fear, this can be caused by a specific trigger or occur without any identifiable cause. This occurs with symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, feeling dizzy or weak, sweating, having breathing difficulties and feeling a loss of control. Besides this, panic attacks different from anxiety disorders because anxiety feelings and fear occur all the time and from agoraphobia because this occurs in places the individual perceives as difficult to escape from.

Considering this, in the case of Darcy her symptoms resemble a panic attack, because the anxiety and fear appear with no reason, instead of linked to a phobia or a regular condition. Also, she experiences symptoms such as feeling dizzy or faint, sweating and losing control that only last during a short time or episode.

The compaction of soil is a negative phenomena. Write a sentence to hypothesize why this is true.
Mekhanik [1.2K]
Excessive soil compaction impedes root growth and therefore limits the amount of soil explored by roots. This, in turn, can decrease the plant's ability to take up nutrients and water. From the standpoint of crop production, the adverse effect of soil compaction on water flow and storage may be more serious than the direct effect of soil compaction on root growth.
