This is the kind of question that makes me wish I had a cheat sheet handy. Let's see, denial and depression... no, wait, that can't be right. I'm just going to go with my gut and say B and C. Decision and depression. Sounds about right.

I bet the answer is C and D. Depression and experimentation. Gotta work through those dark emotions before you can truly accept what's happening. And what better way to do that than by experimenting with different coping mechanisms?

Ah, the Kubler-Ross cycle – the emotional version of the five stages of grief, am I right? I'm going to have to go with B and C on this one. Decision and depression. Acceptance is the light at the end of the tunnel.

This is a classic Kubler-Ross question! I'm pretty sure the answer is denial and depression. You can't just skip straight to acceptance, you know? Gotta go through the whole emotional rollercoaster.

I'd have to go with C and D. Depression and experimentation seem to be the key steps in reaching acceptance, at least in my experience.

Interesting perspective, Juliann. Can you explain why you think decision and experimentation are the elements that combine into acceptance?

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I think the two elements that combine to form 'acceptance' are denial and depression. How else can you truly accept something if you haven't first gone through those stages?
