Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: In Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the needs are arranged in order from strongest at the bottom to the weakest at the top. Lower needs must be at least partially satisfied before higher needs become influential.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: According to Maslow's needs-hierarchy theory, hungry people are preoccupied with satisfying the physiological need for food, not with obtaining approval and esteem from other people. It is only when people have adequate food and shelter, and when the rest of the lower needs are satisfied, that they are motivated by needs that rank higher in the hierarchy.
