Answer to Question 1

Adolescent egocentrism manifests itself in a couple of ways. First, although adolescents understand that others view the world differently from them, they maintain that their view is the correct one because it is based on logic. Thus, they don't distinguish between the world as it should be and the world as it is. Second, because they are so preoccupied with themselves and how they appear to others, they assume that other people are equally interested in how they look and what they do.

Answer to Question 2

B
