Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Modern women are torn between love and work and are consequently dissatisfied in both. It remains as troublesome for some women in the 21st century to combine marriage, motherhood, and career as it was for Karen Horney in the 1930s.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: According to Horney, Oedipal feelings develop only when parents act to undermine their child's security. By removing sex from the Oedipus complex, she reinterpreted the situation as a conflict between dependence on one's parents and hostility toward them.
