Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The superego is the structure that houses the moral branch of personality. The Id acts strictly on instinct without consideration of reality. The Ego is partly conscious but does not consider right from wrong. Freud's theory contains the anal phase.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Growth relates to physical changes in height and weight. Development refers to changes in ability across several dimensions such as physical, emotional, and cognitive. Stating that the two are not really different does not show understanding of this difference. Development is not related strictly to changes in specific body systems. Although both refer to increases in abilities and functioning over time, this answer is too vague to give the parent useful information.
