Answer to Question 1

C
Development of identity is the task of the adolescent. Inadequacy and inferiority refer to the school-age period. Parental attachment is a task of the infant. Development of imagination occurs in the preschool period.

Answer to Question 2

A
Chronic illness may interfere in the development of autonomy, which is the major psychosocial task of the toddler. The developmentally appropriate activity for the hospitalized toddler is to play with a push-pull toy. Putting a puzzle together and playing a simple card game could frustrate the toddler and are appropriate for a preschool or school-age child. Watching cartoons on TV is passive and will not promote autonomy.
