The Story:
When 12 young footballers and their coach entered the Tham Luang Nang Non cave in Thailand, it was supposed to be a fun outing after football practice. But when a torrent of flood water rushed in after heavy rain, the group became trapped on a small rock shelf deep inside the cave’s vast network of tunnels.
It was nine days before two British divers, John Volanthen and Richard Stanton, located the group – mercifully alive and apparently in good physical and mental health.
Question:
What connection does the author draw between physiological and psychological reaction to a life threatening incident in Thai cave boys:the psychology of surviving underground
Answer:
The Author, Sarita Robinson, concludes that the boys and their coach managed to stay both physically and psychologically healthy during the nine long days they spent waiting in the dark and that this is an important factor which explained their surviving the ordeal underground. The fact that they were a social circle might have contributed to their survival. One person in such an ordeal might not have made it out alive.
She stated that it is not uncommon for one to give up mentally and even die regardless of the opportunities for survival.
This is referred to as Psychogenic Death.
She is of the opinion that they should be closely watched after the ordeal, and if after a period of watchful waiting psychologists are still concerned, then psychiatric care can be offered.
Cheers!

Answer: • But progress is not foreordained. The key is freedom—freedom of thought, freedom of information
• Perhaps most exciting are the winds of change that are blowing over the People's Republic of China
• And that's why it's so hard for government planners, no matter how sophisticated, to ever substitute for millions of individuals
Explanation:
An opinion simply refers to someone's point of view and this isn't based on facts but rather the person's judgement.
The lines from President Reagan's Address at Moscow State University that contain an opinion are:
• But progress is not foreordained. The key is freedom—freedom of thought, freedom of information
• Perhaps most exciting are the winds of change that are blowing over the People's Republic of China
• And that's why it's so hard for government planners, no matter how sophisticated, to ever substitute for millions of individuals.
Therefore, the correct options are C, E and F.
