Answer the following question: Given the following passage  "Emotions have been described by some theorists as discrete and consistent responses to internal or external events which have a particular significance for the organism.

Graham describes all emotions as existing on a continuum of intensity. Thus fear might range from mild concern to terror or shame might range from simple embarrassment to toxic shame.

Moods are feelings that tend to be less intense than emotions and that often lack a contextual stimulus.",  answer the following question. Note that the answer is present within the text.
