Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Men have such a small part to play in the act of creating new life that they must sublimate their womb envy and overcompensate for it by seeking achievement in their work. Womb envy and the resentment that accompanies it are manifested unconsciously in behaviors designed to disparage and belittle women and to reinforce their inferior status.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Horney countered the idea of penis envy by arguing that men envied women because of their capacity for motherhood. Her position on this issue was based on the pleasure she said she had experienced in childbirth.
