Psychology evolved from the study of the mind and biological functions.

A. Hippocampus
B. Amygdala
C. Hypothalamus
D. None of these

The correct answer is Amygdala.

The amygdala is a part of the brain that plays a key role in regulating emotions, especially fear and anger. It is responsible for processing emotional reactions and is crucial for the body's response to threats. When people encounter something that causes fear or anger, the amygdala is activated, triggering a fight-or-flight response.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the other brain structures mentioned:

Hippocampus: Primarily involved in memory formation and spatial navigation, but not directly responsible for fear or anger.
Hypothalamus: Regulates autonomic functions like hunger, thirst, body temperature, and the release of hormones, and it is indirectly involved in emotional responses, but not specifically tied to fear and anger.

A. Deism
B. Theism
C. Atheism
D. None of these

Theism is the belief in the existence of one or more gods, and specifically, monotheism is the belief in a single God. In this context, theism refers to the belief in a personal God who interacts with the world.

Here's a breakdown of the other terms:

Deism: Belief in the existence of a creator who does not intervene in the universe or the affairs of humans.
Atheism: The absence of belief in the existence of any gods or deities.
So, theism covers the belief in a single God, as in monotheism, or multiple gods, as in polytheism.
