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

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

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!

blank verse is often confused with free verse. free verse avoids traditional poetic forms such as rhyme schemes and conventional metres and can follow any pattern the poet wishes which means that the verses and lines can differ in length as the poet chooses. however blank verse like free verse is also unrhymed but each line in blank verse has roughly the same number of stresses and syllables, usually following the iambic pentameter

you didn't list the options but im guessing it's resolving contradictions
