I see no option choices but a phobia is defined as an extreme irrational fear. Fear is your response to what you perceive as a threat and a phobia is more of a disorder, causing great anxiety disproportionate to the cause of your fear.

A phobia is similar to a fear with one key difference: the anxiety they experience is so strong that it interferes with their quality of life and/ or their ability to function. Whereas many people fear spiders, only a small subsection of the population will meet criteria for a spider phobia. People who have a spider phobia often spend considerable time worrying about spiders, spend an inordinate amount of time ensuring they do not come in contact with a spider, and will avoid places and activities in order to avoid spiders.
Making a distinction between a fear and a phobia is useful because they are qualitatively very different problems.

cricket20 [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

4. He funded voyages into the new world

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

A nobleman of English, French, and Spanish family, Prince Henry earned his fame by sponsoring many trips of exploration onward the western coast of Africa. Many people think that great navigator Henry prince was an extraordinary navigator but this is not a  truth. He even did not set sail on journeys for discovery.

Prince Henry had many causes for killing his campaigns. He expected to find rumored Christian collaborators, add to geographic understanding, and possibly find a sea map to the East. But he also expected to get gold. For hundreds, of gold objects from sub-Saharan Africa had gained their route to Europe. Some Portuguese even considered that the objects came from a "River of Gold." If only this gold stock could be located, Henry's costly journeys could start to pay for themselves and possibly even add Portugal's economy.

yarga [219]

Answer:

Dr Geiser is most likely a humanistic psychologist.

Explanation:

Humanistic Therapy focuses on the individual as such, prioritizing the present and emphasizing his/her positive traits; it <em>looks at the individual as a whole</em>, more than its parts. Individuals are addressed as clients, not as patients.

We can see that Dr. Geiser is most likely a humanistic psychologist since she <em>treats her clients equally.</em> She centers on making them <em>feel accepted and encouraged</em>, emphasizing their positive traits.

Was justice served after the Holocaust?
weeeeeb [17]
It really depends on how you look at after the fight with Germany ended we were still fighting Japan but the U.S dropped 2 atomic bombs killing over 360,000 people they did it without telling the allies because they wanted to send a message to Russia basically saying that we have these types of weapons don’t mess with us basically a flex. After the bombs were dropped the war ended but I don’t believe justice was served because the U.S committed a war crime by dropping those bombs and they did it for research purposes because as soon as the war ended they sent over researchers to go collect data on what happened and how it effected the people. There is a lot more in depth stuff that will make my argument more strong but if I type all that out I will be here all day. Over all I don’t believe justice was served but that’s everyone’s own opinion.
