Answer to Question 1

D
The individual will be living up to the ego ideal, which will result in positive feelings about self. The other options are incorrect because each represents a negative feeling.

Answer to Question 2

C
Anxiety can be contagious, in that it is transmissible from one person to another. The outward indications of anxiety in the first person (e.g., tremor, restlessness, apprehension) are noted by others, who respond empathetically and/or sympathetically. Introjection is a defense mechanism that would not lead to increased anxiety in others. Secondary anxiety is associated with a physical disorder. Maturational anxiety arises from a situation in which a threat is present to achievement of a maturational or developmental task.
