Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Freud grouped the instincts into two categories: life instincts and death instincts. The life instincts serve the purpose of survival of the individual and the species. The death instincts relate to the unconscious drive toward decay, destruction, and aggression.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Although the instincts are the exclusive source of energy for human behavior, the resulting energy can be invested in a variety of activities. This helps explain the diversity we see in human behavior.
