Vito does not enjoy public speaking, but had to present his literature review on contemporary behaviorism in his General Psychology course. When his name was drawn by his professor, his heart began to beat faster and Vito's face became redder as he approached the front of the classroom. As he uttered the name of his presentation, "What the B.F.? Behaviorism Today" the class chuckled. He smiled
and began walking the class through his slides. As he went on, his stammering speech began to smooth, rate of speech normalized, and the redness of his cheeks disappeared. Before he knew it, the 5-minute presentation was over and he received a round of applause. By the time Vito returned to his desk, his legs felt rubbery and overall, he was "physically drained." Which of the following sequences is MOST accurate in Vito's experience?
A) ?resistance, alarm, exhaustion.
B) ?alarm, exhaustion, resistance.
C) ?alarm, resistance, exhaustion.
