Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Just when Skinner thought he had lost all hope, he discovered a new identity that suited him, to which he would cling for the rest of his life. He decided that since writing had failed him, he would study human behavior by the methods of science rather than the methods of fiction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Skinner built a study in the attic of his parents' home in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and sat down to write. The results were disastrous. Skinner was 22 years old and a failure at the only thing he wanted to do. He later referred to that time as his dark year, what Erikson would call an identity crisis. Skinner's occupational identity as a writer, which he had so carefully constructed during his college years, had collapsed and took with it his sense of self-worth.
