Shantel has heard about the use of hypnosis to reduce pain and anxiety during childbirth and is interested in trying this technique. what does research suggest about the use of hypnosis to relieve pain?

Explanation:

Research suggest that hypnosis helps reduce anxiety and fear. This could lead to reduced pains associated with child birth.

From studies, when an individual is hypnotized, that individual is more relaxed, peripheral awareness is reduced and that individual is in a trance-like state and in extreme cases even numb to pains. This helps reduce pains during childbirth.

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
