1 answer

To determine which needs are not satisfied by Ellen's work according to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, we need to identify which categories her unsatisfied needs fall into:

  • Basic human needs: This includes physiological needs (food, shelter, safety).
  • Sense of belonging: This pertains to social needs (relationships, love, belonging).
  • Self-actualization: This refers to the fulfillment of personal potential and self-growth.

Given the options, if Ellen's work does not fulfill her basic human needs and her sense of belonging, the correct answer would be:

D. A and C.

This means her basic needs and sense of belonging are the two areas not satisfied by her work.
