Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
Benefits of play for the preschooler include exercising imagination, assuming a role and acting it out, offering an emotional outlet, and interaction with other children. Play employs the use of magical thinking.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
Children of this age become less focused on the mother as the central person and begin to identify with the parent of the same sex, forming a romantic attachment to the parent of the opposite sex. This little boy might say, I'm going to marry my mother. A little girl might say, I'm going to marry my daddy.
