Let’s go through each question one by one and figure out the correct answers.
---
Question 1: What distinguishes the ego from the id and superego in one particular way?
We’re looking for a key difference between the ego and the other two parts of personality (id and superego) according to Freud.
- Option a: Says ego cares about social acceptance, id/superego only care about pleasure — that’s not right. The superego cares about morals, not just pleasure.
- Option b: Says ego is fully aware, while id and superego are not — this is true! In Freud’s theory, the ego operates mostly in conscious awareness, while the id and superego operate largely unconsciously.
- Option c: Says ego is only interested in pleasure — no, that’s the id!
- Option d: Says Jung created the ego — false. Freud created all three concepts.
✔ So,
b is correct.

Question 2: Which statement best represents Sigmund Freud’s legacy?
Freud didn’t invent cognitive behavioral therapy (that came later). He didn’t start a literary genre. He wasn’t primarily a neurologist (though he studied medicine early on).
His biggest contribution was creating a framework to understand human personality and behavior — like the id, ego, superego, unconscious mind, defense mechanisms, etc.
✔ So,
c is correct.

Question 3: Which describes how a person would act if their id was not checked?
The id is the part that wants immediate gratification — “I want it now!” without thinking about rules or consequences.
Looking at the options (even though blurry):
- a: Admires flowers and compliments them → too polite, not id-like.
- b: Sees flowers she likes, cuts them, brings home → YES! That’s impulsive, self-gratifying, ignores ownership or rules → classic id behavior.
- c: Decides to buy same flowers → rational, planned → ego/superego.
- d: Decides they’re too hard to maintain → practical, realistic → ego.
✔ So,
b is correct.

Question 4: It is the disorganized component of the personality structure where the basic drives are found.
This is describing the
id — it’s the primitive, instinctual part full of urges (hunger, sex, aggression), not organized or logical.
Options:
a. id →
✔ Correct
b. Ego → No, ego is organized and mediates reality
c. Superego → No, that’s moral compass
✔ So,
a is correct.
