Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: It is not surprising that the theorist who gave us the concept of the identity crisis, Erik Erikson, experienced several of the same kind of crises of his own which he was never able, over his lifetime to resolve.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Erikson extended Freud's theory in three ways. He placed greater emphasis on the ego than on the id. In Erikson's view, the ego is an independent part of the personality. It is not dependent on or subservient to the id, as Freud had said.
