Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: The three basic structures in the anatomy of the personality are the id, the ego, and the superego. The id strives for immediate satisfaction of its needs and does not tolerate delay or postponement of satisfaction for any reason. It knows only instant gratification; it drives us to want what we want when we want it, without regard for what anyone else wants.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: The preconscious is the storehouse of all our memories, perceptions, and thoughts of which we are not consciously aware at the moment. A growing child is taught to deal intelligently and rationally with other people and the outside world and to develop the powers of perception, recognition, judgment, and memory. These powers are contained in the ego.
