When stress becomes too much to handle on your own, which should you consider as your next option?
1 pretend the problem doesn’t exist.
2 argue with a friend to blow off steam.
3 stay with the problem until it’s solved.
4 talk to someone you trust.

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

we are given the following statement 'hawthorne thought of himself as a novelist' which is false.

the truth is that nathaniel hawthorne thought of himself as a romancer, rather than a novelist.

though it is ironic of him of him to consider himself a romancer rather than a novelist despite of the innocent women killings in the salem witch trials which occurred in colonial massachusetts between 1692 and 1693 .
