Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: Once repression is operating, it is difficult to eliminate. Because we use repression to protect ourselves from danger, in order to remove it, we would have to realize that the idea or memory is no longer dangerous.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
FEEDBACK: Repression is an involuntary removal of something from conscious awareness. Reaction formation involves expressing an id impulse that is the opposite of the one truly driving a person.
