Answer to Question 1

Ans: B

According to Freud, during the oral stage, the infant uses his or her mouth as the major source of gratification and exploration. Pleasure is experienced from eating, biting, chewing, and sucking. This provides the infant with security. Chewing on things probably does lessen teething pain and sucking is a basic reflex, but neither of these things are part of Freud's theory. Putting things in the mouth is not connected with gaining confidence.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, D, E

Substance abuse by a pregnant woman increases the risk for congenital anomalies, low birth weight, and prematurity in her developing fetus. Someone who is using drugs is less likely to eat a nutritious diet and have regular prenatal care.
