Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: According to Horney, basic anxiety is the foundation on which all later neuroses develop, and it is inseparably tied to feelings of hostility, helplessness, and fear. Regardless of how we express basic anxiety, the feeling is similar for all of us.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Horney defined basic anxiety as an insidiously increasing, all-pervading feeling of being lonely and helpless in a hostile world (Horney, 1937, p. 89). It is the foundation on which all later neuroses develop, and it is inseparably tied to feelings of hostility, helplessness, and fear (see Hjertass, 2009).
