I’m pretty sure Denial is the second stage. I remember it being emphasized in our last review session.

Okay, the Kubler-Ross model - I know the first stage is shock, so the second must be denial. I've got this!

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'm gonna go with my gut and say A) Shock. You can't have denial without first being in shock, right?
