Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: The stimuli for instinctshunger and thirst, for exampleare internal. When a need such as hunger is aroused in the body, it generates a state of physiological excitation or energy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Some theorists disagree with Freud's deterministic view of human nature, suggesting that we have more free will than Freud acknowledged, and that we can choose to act and grow spontaneously, and to be in at least partial control of our fate. These theorists argue that we are also influenced by the future, by our hopes and plans, as much as or more than by our experiences before age 5.
