Answer 1

Answer:

• According to the text, psychoanalysis asserts defense mechanisms are employed by the ego to block the awareness of inadmissible urges and thoughts about them.

Explanation:

• The human body is over all composed of different factors i.e mental well being, emotional capacity etc, as these factors increase the individuals chances to survive inside a given space while interacting with other living beings in a more proper way. As, there are different emotional and psychological stresses which are experienced by each individual inside the given situation. And the defense mechanisms are there for the protection mechanism of the body system in any unbalance situation or stress full situation.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is option b: the ego to block awareness of inadmissible urges and thoughts about them.

Explanation:

Psychoanalysis suggest that defense mechanisms are employed to protect ourselves from feelings of anxiety or guilt, which arise because we feel threatened, or because our id or superego becomes too demanding.

Defense mechanisms operate at an unconscious level and help ward off unpleasant feelings (i.e., anxiety) or make good things feel better for the individual.
