Even though the second person has some constraints, he is still able to exert his will.

Not a good question. Skip it.

He was still able to think on his own, so why E is correct.


He does not facilitate himself in the process. He did the process

The correct answer is exert.

Breakdown of the Blank

The sentence explains that Erikson knew he was "misdirected" but was unable to change his course. The blank needs a verb that describes the act of using or applying free will.
- Exert means to apply or bring to bear (a force, influence, or quality). In this context, Erikson was unable to apply his free will to correct his direction. The word perfectly captures the idea of actively exercising a power or an ability.
