According to erik h. erikson, what challenge do we face during middle adulthood? a. autonomy versus doubt and shame b. maintaining intimate relationships versus isolation c. industriousness versus inferiority d. making a difference to others versus self-absorption

D.making a difference to others versus self-absorption.

Explanation:

According to Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, humans reach middle adulthood at around 40 years old, and this lasts until 59 years old. During this stage in our life, we are concerned about making our life count. We want to be able to create and produce in a way that allows the next generation of people to flourish. We focus on socially-valued work, and try to contribute to society by guiding future generations. People who do not attempt this and instead are self-absorbed can develop a sense of stagnation, and a feeling of lack of productivity.

b. after i get up in the morning,

explanation:

after is a subordinating conjunction that introduces a time clause. time clauses are dependent clauses used to indicate when something happened.

the clause "after i get up in the morning" tells when the action in the main clause (drinking a cup of coffee) happens:

"after i get up in the morning, i drink a cup of coffee." it is the most logical choice of all.
