Answer 1

Answer: Identity diffusion

Explanation:

Identity diffusion is a step to self realization. It could be seen as a period when an individual is trying to figure out what they want to do with themselves in life, they might have figured it out to some extent but would still need some more clarity and in most cases they may not be searching.

Elizabeth has realized that she would be a professor based on what occurs in her family but hasn't gained clarity of purpose on it.
