Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Trained as an orthodox Freudian, Erikson interpreted play constructions along standard psychoanalytic lines. He wrote, Sexual differences in the organization of a play space seem to parallel the morphology of genital differentiation itself: in the male, an external organ, erectable and intrusive in character  in the female, internal organs, with vestibular access, leading to a statically expectant ova.
