Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: An early feminist, Horney argued that psychoanalysis focused more on men's development than on women's. To counter Freud's contention that women are driven by penis envy, she proposed that men are envious of women for their ability to give birth.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: Both the first-borns and the only children enjoy the instant and undivided attention of the parents. First-born children and the only children also manifest adult behaviors and attitudes due to the prolonged time they spend with their parents.
When the second-born child appears, first-borns are, in a sense, dethroned. They are no longer the focus of attention and are no longer receiving constant love and care. Only children, on the other hand, never lose the position of primacy and power they hold in the family. They remain the focus and center of attention. First-born children have to share the affection of the parents with siblings and compete for it many times, whereas only children receive all the affection. Only children have learned neither to share nor to compete.
