Ironically I know A and C.I am fan of Frederick Nietzsche although I disagree with your "rightfully living above the law" That is not what being a 'superman" is about according to Nietzsche.
"Superego" is from Sigmund Freud.
I don't think I've heard of the phrase "superadult" though.
B would be a autodidact.
So I am gonna say D.
C) A person with a harsh, demanding conscience or "superego"
BZZT! Nice try though! Keep it up everyone!
Well, I was going to say C, too, but since that's been buzzed, I'll go with A.
Rita, B is absolutely DING DING DING correct!!! Take a sheet of Peeps out of petty cash!!!
Congrats, Rita - I guess I'm a superadult. Maybe even a super-superadult. Who knew?
Isn't B an autodidact, as someone previously answered?
There can be more than one term for a particular description.
Indeed there can. In this case the point is not that the person is self-taught, but that she is educated beyond the bare minimum to qualify a person for adult function in a job and so forth, which in those days meant eighth grade. So anyone who even had a diploma was a superadult, and I don't even know what the term would be if you had a Master's or Ph.D...Demigod?
On the humorous side, I found several websites that define superadult as a new term for senior citizens.
