In order to approach the problem of anxiety in play, let us consider the problem of anxiety in play, let
us consider the activity of building and destroying a tower. Many a mother thinks that her little son is
in a 'destructive stage' or even has a 'destructive personality' because after building a big, big tower,
the boy cannot follow her advice to leave the tower for Daddy to see, but instead must kick it and
make it collapse. The almost manic pleasure with which children watch the collapse in a second of
the product of long play-labour has puzzled many, especially since the child does not appreciate it at
all if his tower falls by accident or by a helpful uncle’s hand. He, the builder, must destroy it himself.
This game, I should think, arises from the not so distant experience of sudden falls at the very time
when standing upright on wobbly legs afforded a new and fascinating perspective on existence. The
child who consequently learns to make a tower 'stand up' enjoys causing the same tower to waver
and collapse; in addition to the active mastery over a previously passive event, it makes one feel
stronger to know that there is somebody weaker ----and towers, unlike little sister, can't cry and call,
'Mummy!

has built B. to destroy the tower himself C. to see his tower accidentally destroyed D. to be
helped to destroy the tower

Strength B. Anxiety C. Pity D. Depression
 3. How does the author try to explain this ‘destructive stage'? A. It is the last stage in child
development B. The child wants to displease his parents C. It grows out of the child's recent
experiences of sudden falls D. The child is just going through a destructive stage
4. The expression 'must kick it and make it collapse' in this context means A. is forced to kick it
and demolish it B. is obliged to kick it and make it collapse C. cannot resist the urge to
demolish it D. ought to kick it and make it collapse
5. In the passage 'manic pleasure' means A. pleasure B. childish pleasure C. unlimited pleasure
D. human pleasure
