Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Adolescence, between ages 12 and 18, is the stage at which we must meet and resolve the crisis of our basic ego identity. Erikson suggested that adolescence was a hiatus between childhood and adulthood, a necessary psychological moratorium to give the person time and energy to play different roles and live with different self-images.
