Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: A child who is physically weak might focus on that weakness and work to develop superior athletic ability. In ancient times, the Greek statesman Demosthenes overcame a stutter to become a great orator. The sickly Theodore Roosevelt, 26th president of the United States, became a model of physical fitness as an adult. Efforts to overcome organic inferiority can result in striking artistic, athletic, and social accomplishments.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Adler argued that defective parts or organs of the body shape personality through the person's efforts to compensate for the defect or weakness, just as Adler compensated for rickets, the physical inferiority of his childhood years.
