Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Mahler's theory of object relations suggests that the child at this age has a beginning sense of object constancy and can use a representation of the mother for comfort. The child may use a blanket or other object to remind himself of the mother. The other theories mentioned are not as clearly related as Mahler's.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Individuals who have difficulty with the oral stage are often dependent. The other options reflect behavior not grounded in this stage.
