Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: When only the positive, adaptive, tendency is present in the ego, the condition is said to be maladaptive. When only the negative tendency is present, the condition is called malignant. Maladaptions can lead to neuroses; malignancies can lead to psychoses.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Similar to the way basic strengths arise at each stage of psychosocial development, so may basic weaknesses. Basic weaknesses are motivating characteristics that derive from the unsatisfactory resolution of developmental crises.
