Answer:
D. Problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping cannot be used together in a situation.
Explanation:
Option D is correct, because problem-focused coping involves different strategies or development. These strategies may include, solving the problem oneself, taking help from someone else to solve the problem, detaching oneself from the problem (e.g <em>it's not my problem</em>). These strategies can never help in coping emotional stresses. Strategies to cope emotional stresses may include, distraction (keeping oneself busy in something), emotional disclosure (expressing one's emotions fully by writing or talking to someone), spiritual guidance/attachment (praying, and/or contentment), catharsis (the purification emotions through art) etc.
Option A is not correct because death of family member is an emotional stress (which cannot be solved, but only coped) and not a problem (which can be solved)
Option B is not correct because life's problems are problems (which can be solved), they are not emotions.
Option C is incorrect because emotion-focused coping does give good outcomes, as does problem-focused coping.
 
        
             
        
        
        
The <span>sound device used in the following excerpt from "How the Animals Lost their Tails and Got Them Back Traveling from Philadelphia to Medicine Hat" by Carl Sandburg is <u>repetition.
</u>You can see that the fragment <em>which family was </em>is repeated a several times throughout the excerpt, which is why repetition is the correct answer.<u>
