According to this excerpt from "Loneliness . . . an American Malady" by Carson McCullers, what paradox do people struggle with i

n life?
Consciousness of self is the first abstract problem that the human being solves. Indeed, it is this self-consciousness that removes us from lower animals. This primitive grasp of identity develops with constantly shifting emphasis through all our years. Perhaps maturity is simply the history of those mutations that reveal to the individual the relation between himself and the world in which he finds himself.

After the first establishment of identity there comes the imperative need to lose this new-found sense of separateness and to belong to something larger and more powerful than the weak, lonely self. The sense of moral isolation is intolerable to us.

1. Self-consciousness arises at an early age, but people continue to develop personality in later years.
2. Maturity can only be gained once people become more aware of their personal needs.
3. Even though other animals are unaware of self, humans and other animals still struggle with social conformity.
4. Gaining awareness of one’s “self” causes a person to yearn for companionship with others.

Answer:

4. Gaining awareness of one’s “self” causes a person to yearn for companionship with others.

Explanation:

<em>"Consciousness of self is the first abstract problem that the human being solves."</em>

Once the writers states this phrase he exemplifies that the very first problem that the human being faces is the discovering of one self,

<em>"but after this here comes the imperative need to lose this new-found sense of separateness and to belong to something larger"</em>

The individuality tries to become part of a group of the person tries to become part of the people, and seek for social acceptance and social caring.

The preposition in the sentence - Joey Tribbiani is rooting for the other team is-" for"

A preposition is a word or phrase that appears before a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase to indicate direction, time, place, location, spatial relationships, or to introduce an object. Prepositions include words like "in," "at," "on," "of," and "to." English prepositions are highly idiomatic. Although there are some usage rules, many prepositions are dictated by fixed expressions. In these cases, memorize the phrase rather than the individual preposition.

Prepositions are typically found at the end of a sentence, but before a noun or pronoun. Prepositions do not have a specific form. The majority of prepositions are one-word phrases, but complex-prepositions are two- or three-word phrases.
