Answer 1

Answer:

E - Neuroticism.

Explanation:

As the exercise explains, in the context of the Big Five Taxonomy, Angel would fall into the category of neuroticism given that, any individual that shows the tendency to get nervous, moody, anxious, insecure, frustrated, jealous, etc., will be categorised as neurotic. Angel does so, she gets nervous, moody, insecure when faced with an important assignment at work. Therefore, responding to stressors, considering minor situations bigger than they really are, she enters the category of neuroticism.
