Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: People who are unable to establish intimacies in young adulthood will develop feelings of isolation. They avoid social contacts, reject other people, and may even become aggressive toward them. They prefer to be alone because they fear intimacy as a threat to their ego identity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Erikson considered young adulthood to be a longer stage than the previous ones, extending from the end of adolescence to about the age of 35. During this period we establish our independence from our parents and quasi-parental institutions. We undertake some form of productive work and establish intimate relationships, typically close friendships and sexual unions.
