Answer to Question 1

Answer:3
Rationale: Trust versus mistrust (birth to 1 year)The task of the first year of life is to establish trust in the people providing care. Trust is fostered by provision of food,clean clothing,touch,and comfort.If basic needs are not met,the infant will eventually learn to mistrust others.Initiative versus guilt (3 to 6 years)The young child initiates new activities and considers new ideas. This interest in exploring the world creates a child who is involved and busy.Constant criticism, on the other hand,leads to feelings of guilt and a lack of purpose.Identity versus role confusion (12 to 18 years)In adolescence,as the body matures and thought processes become more complex,a new sense of identity or self is established. The self,family,peer group,and community are all examined and redefined. The adolescent who is unable to establish a meaningful definition of self will experience confusion in one or more roles of life.Industry versus inferiority (6 to 12 years)The middle years of childhood are characterized by development of new interests and by involvement in activities. The child takes pride in accomplishments in sports,school,home,and community.If the child cannot accomplish what is expected,however,the result will be a sense of inferiority. Evaluation
