Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback: Erikson's integrity vs. despair stage is when an adult begins to reflect on his or her life. Identity vs. role confusion occurs in adolescence when the person is forming a sense of self and belonging. Integrity vs. despair occurs in maturity; accepting responsibility for one's self and life is the corresponding task. Generativity vs. stagnation occurs in middle adulthood, which includes tasks of being creative and productive, and establishing the next generation.

Answer to Question 2

A
