Answer:
b) Ricky's need for belongingness is not being met.
Explanation:
Maslow proposed a theory based on a hierarchy of needs, this hierarchy is often depicted as hierarchical levels within a pyramid.
According to Maslow, needs lower down in the hierarchy need to be satisfied in order to focus in needs that are higher up in the pyramid.
The needs are:
- Physiological: refer to biological needs for human survival (food, warmth, sleep, etc)
- Safety needs: refer to protection from elements (security, order, stability)
- Love and belongingness needs: These has to do with the need for interpersonal relationships. (friendship, intimacy, love)
- Esteem needs: these needs refer to the need for respect or reputation (achievement, mastery, status).
- Self-actualization needs: Refer to realizing one own's potential and self-fulfillment. "To become everything one is capable of becoming"
According to the example, Ricky has a lavish home with an elaborate security system and he owns a luxurious car. <u>We can see that his safety needs (security) are being met.</u>
Also since he is a senior partner in a law firm with a luxurious car, <u>we can say that his esteem needs are being met too (achievement, status).</u>
However, <u>he lives alone and does not find the time to socialize, thus, there are no real interpersonal relationships in his life.</u>
We can conclude, based on this that Ricky's belongingness needs are not being fulfilled and this could explain his discontentment with life.

d. Aquinas’s use of dialectical method.
Explanation:
According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:
a. Aquinas’s lack of faith in God.
b. Aquinas’s deliberate imitation of liturgical practice.
c. Aquinas’s insistence that his readers accept revealed truth.
d. Aquinas’s use of dialectical method.
The main thing that this statement from Aquinas shows is that he employs the dialectical method. The dialectical method, or simply, dialectics, is a method that attempts to mimic discourse between two people who hold different points of view. When using this system, it is assumed that both people want to establish the truth about a matter through reasonable and sound arguments. In this example, Aquinas is employing it in order to get to the truth of whether there is a God.
