Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Peer-group identification is an important factor in gaining independence from parents. Through peer relationships, children learn ways to deal with dominance and hostility. They also learn how to relate to people in positions of leadership and authority and explore ideas and the physical environment. Peer-group identification helps in gaining independence rather than remaining dependent. A child's concept of appropriate sex roles is influenced by relationships with peers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Children at this age may view illness or injury as a punishment for a real or imagined mystique. The belief in divine punishment is common at this age.
