Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: First-borns have a very happy and secure existence, until the second-born child appears. Suddenly, no longer the focus of attention, no longer receiving constant love and care, first-borns are, in a sense, dethroned.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: One of Adler's most enduring contributions is the idea that order of birth is a major social influence in childhood, one from which we create our style of life. Adler liked to amaze lecture audiences and dinner guests by correctly guessing people's order of birth on the basis of their behavior.
