Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Erikson's stage of autonomy versus shame and doubt marks a period of time when the toddler is trying to gain some independence while still wanting to please adults.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Parallel play describes when two or more children play together, each engaging in their own activities. Cooperative play happens when children demonstrate the ability to cooperate with others and play a part in order to contribute to a unified whole. Associative play is characterized by children interacting in groups and participating in similar activities. In solitary play, a child plays alone.
