Revati is a very sincere student who was offered the post of the Head Girl. She took time to think and accepted the position. Her parents initially did not approve as they thought that it will be extremely challenging for her and can lead her to compromise with her academics. Revati, though had taken the responsibilities keeping all her objectives in mind. She figured out that she would have to make changes in her daily schedule to shoulder the added responsibilities.
On the day of the farewell she was applauded by all in balancing out well. She shared that she was able to meet her goals with the support of her family especially when she felt low. Also she was regular with her evening walks which helped her to think clearly. Her ability of taking decisions firmly without being self conscious was a life lesson to her.
Revati felt confident and had a solid sense of her own identity which helped manage the demands of her increased responsibilities adequately.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
(A) Creative Visualisation — this matches (III) Subjective experience using imagery and imagination. Creative visualisation is an effective technique for dealing with stress: a subjective experience that uses imagery and imagination, best done with a quiet mind, a relaxed body and closed eyes, after setting oneself a realistic goal.
(B) Cognitive Behavioural Technique — this matches (IV) Replaces negative thought with positive and rational thought. These techniques aim to inoculate people against stress. In Meichenbaum’s stress inoculation training the essence is to replace negative and irrational thoughts with positive and rational ones.
(C) Exercise — this matches (I) Improves circulation, reduces stress and improves immune system. Regular exercise gives an active outlet for the arousal caused by stress; it improves the efficiency of the heart, maintains good circulation, lowers blood pressure and improves the body’s immune system.
(D) Biofeedback — this matches (II) Monitor and reduce physiological aspect by giving feedback. Biofeedback is a procedure to monitor and reduce the physiological aspects of stress by providing feedback about current physiological activity, such as heart rate, often with relaxation training.
