Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: In 1909, Freud received formal recognition from the American psychological community. He was invited to give a series of lectures at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, and to receive an honorary doctoral degree. Although grateful for the honor, Freud did not like the United States, and complained about its informality, bad cooking, and scarcity of bathrooms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: It is a paradox that Freud, who emphasized the importance of sex in emotional life, experienced so many personal sexual conflicts. The sex act was degrading, he wrote, because it contaminated both mind and body.
