Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Erikson's oral-sensory stage of psychosocial development, paralleling Freud's oral stage, occurs during our first year of life, the time of our greatest helplessness. During this stage, the mouth is of vital importance. Erikson wrote that the infant lives through, and loves with, the mouth.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Erikson also proposed that each of the eight psychosocial stages provides an opportunity to develop our basic strengths. To Erikson, basic strengths are motivating characteristics and beliefs that derive from the satisfactory resolution of the crisis at each developmental stage.
