Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: In childhood, we try to protect ourselves against basic anxiety in four quite different ways: securing affection and love, being submissive, attaining power, or withdrawing. The fourth way of protecting oneself against basic anxiety involves withdrawing from other people, not physically but psychologically. Such a person attempts to become independent of others, not relying on anyone else for the satisfaction of internal or external needs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Horney compensated for her feelings of helplessness as a child by striving for academic success. By attaining power over others, a person can compensate for helplessness and achieve security through success or through a sense of superiority.
