Correct answers: A and C.
- A is true: the "me" is the socialized aspect of the self, formed by internalizing others' attitudes through interaction (family, playmates, institutions).
- C is true in the sense Mead describes: the "I" is the spontaneous, acting subject; once its actions are reflected on and taken up by the social perspective, they can be incorporated into the "me."
- B is false: the spontaneous, unpredictable side is the "I," not the "me."
- D is false: being seen as an object from others' eyes describes the "me," not the "I."
