Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Among the four ways to protect ourselves against basic anxiety, encompassed by the neurotic needs, withdrawing includes the needs for self-sufficiency, perfection, and narrow limits to life.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Horney noted that we all manifest these needs to some degree. None of the needs is abnormal or neurotic in an everyday, transient sense. What makes them neurotic is the person's intensive and compulsive pursuit of their satisfaction as the only way to resolve basic anxiety.
