Answer to Question 1

D
Visceral pain comes from visceral organs, such as those from the gastrointestinal tract. Visceral pain is diffuse and radiates in several directions. Superficial pain has a short duration and is usually a sharp pain. Pain of an unknown cause is called idiopathic pain. Chronic pain lasts longer than 6 months.

Answer to Question 2

B
Industry versus inferiority occurs between the ages of 6 and 12 years. It is during this developmental task that a person gains self-esteem through new skill mastery. The other self-concept development tasks occur at other stages of life and would not apply to this situation.
