Ego directs libido toward external objects, so the first blank is "object"; the superego addresses and judges the subject, so the second blank is "subject."

1. Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Ego (Freudian): the mediating, reality-oriented part of the psyche that negotiates drives (id) with reality and relationships; it relates outwardly to objects (people, things) as targets of libidinal or aggressive investment.
- Superego: the internalized moral authority (conscience, ideals) that addresses and judges the person; it operates as a critical voice directed at the subject.
- Object (psychoanalytic sense): any external person or thing that becomes the target of drives or libidinal investment (object- relations theory).
- Subject: the experiencing, moralized self that can be addressed, judged, and obligated.
- Abject (Kristeva): a concept describing what is cast off or repulsive, not the standard Freudian term used here.

2. Step-by-step reasoning
- The phrase contrasts how two psychic agencies orient themselves: one toward something external, the other toward the self as an addressee.
- The ego’s practical work is to relate the drives to external realities and other people — in psychoanalytic language the ego is concerned with objects (love objects, object relations).
- The superego functions as an internal judge, issuing commands and inducing guilt; it speaks to and constructs the subject as the one accountable.

3. Intermediate steps / examples
- Example for ego/object: A child’s ego invests love in a parent — the parent is an object of the ego’s libidinal relation.
- Example for superego/subject: The superego says “You must not do X,” thereby addressing the subject and generating conscience and guilt.

4. Why the correct answer is correct
- “Object” fits the ego because the ego’s primary orientation is toward external targets; “subject” fits the superego because the superego’s function is to address and regulate the subject. This pairing matches psychoanalytic usage.

5. Why other options are incorrect
- “Abject” is a different theoretical term (Kristeva) describing what is expelled or disturbing; it is not the standard term to pair with ego or superego here.
- Reversing the pair (ego → subject, superego → object) would misrepresent functions: the ego is not primarily the internal moral judge (that’s the superego), and the superego does not primarily relate to external objects.

6. Conclusion / confirmation
Therefore the correct completion is: "To each ego its object, to each superego its subject." This matches the provided answer: ["object", "subject"].
