The correct answer is: Paul's immune system functioning will improve.
Prolonged stress suppresses and negatively affects the functioning of a person or animal's immune system. Due to this, a person is more susceptible to infectious diseases such as colds, gastroenteritis, etc. Stress suppresses immune system functioning due to increased levels of cortisol, which in turn lowers the number of lymphocytes (antibodies that fight illness and infection. If Paul's lifestyle changes from a highly stressful one (as a stockbroker), to a more relaxing one (running a yoga studio in the tropics), his immune system functioning will improve.
Based on my general interpretation of <em>Jane Eyre</em>, Mr. Brocklehurst thinks that it is morally just to treat Jane badly because of what her aunt had falsely claimed about her (that she is a delinquent). Unlike Helen, a character portrayed in the novel as a kindhearted & forgiving Christian, Brocklehurst is a strict Christian who believes that the students who behave deserve to be treated well, whereas the troublemakers deserve bad treatment.
The fault that Brocklehurst possesses is the inability to sense the extent to which a faulty person can be punished. His (wrong) religious views cause him to be overly hypocritical of others' mistakes and, because of that, he is easily tempted to humiliate them for their mistakes. In other words, even though he attempts to spread morality around the school, he is actually doing the opposite.
Hope this helps! :)
