Question No. 30 to 31 are based on the given text. Read the text carefully and answer the questions: [3]
Stress, either physiological, biological, or psychological is an organism's response to a stressor such as an
environmental condition. Stress is the body's method of reacting to a condition such as a threat, challenge, or physical
and psychological barrier. Stimuli that alter an organism's environment are responded to by multiple systems in the
body. In psychology, stress is a feeling of emotional strain and pressure. Stress is a type of psychological pain. Small
amounts of stress may be desired, beneficial, and even healthy. Positive stress helps improve athletic performance. It
also plays a factor in motivation, adaptation, and reaction to the environment. Excessive amounts of stress, however,
may lead to bodily harm. Stress can increase the risk of strokes, heart attacks, ulcers, and mental illnesses such as
depression and also aggravation of a pre-existing condition. Two kinds of appraisals of a stressor are especially
important in this regard: primary and secondary appraisals. Some stressors are inherently more stressful than others in
that they are more threatening and leave less potential for variation in cognitive appraisals. Nevertheless, an appraisal
will still play a role in augmenting or diminishing our reactions to such events.
30. What do challenges, problems, and difficult circumstances put us to? (1)
31. What are events called that cause our body to give the stress response? Give examples. (2)
Question No. 32 to 33 are based on the given text. Read the text carefully and answer the questions: [3]
The PASS (Planning, Attention, Simultaneous and Successive cognitive processing) theory of intelligence identifies
three operational units that are important to understanding mental functioning: attention, simultaneous and successive
processing, and planning. The PASS THEORY of intelligence has been developed by J.P Das, Jack Naglieri, and Kirby
(1994). They proposed that three functional units of the brain determine the intellectual activity of an individual. These
three units are responsible for planning, arousal/attention and simultaneous/Successive processing These PASS
processes are interactive in nature yet each has its own distinctive functions.

32. What is the full form of the pass model? Who developed this model? (1)
33. What is simultaneous processing? When does it take place? (2)
