Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Adler's image of human nature is optimistic in his belief that people are not driven by unconscious forces. Adler's system provides a hopeful, flattering image of human nature that is the antithesis of Freud's dreary, pessimistic view. We possess the free will to shape the social forces that influence us and to use them creatively to construct a unique style of life.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Only children never lose the position of primacy and power they hold in the family. Spending more time in the company of adults than a child with siblings, only children often mature early and manifest adult behaviors and attitudes.
