Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: As a result of the feelings of inferiority, women may choose to deny their femininity and to wish, unconsciously, that they were men. These women distrust and resent men and reject their sexual advances.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Horney did not deny that many women believed themselves to be inferior to men. After generations of social, economic, and cultural discrimination, it is understandable that many women saw themselves in that light.
