Answer to Question 1

C
Interpersonal communication is interaction that occurs between two people or within a small group. Gossiping violates confidentiality. The act of validation requires comparing data with another source. Intrapersonal communication occurs within the individual, consisting of self-talk, self-verbalization, or inner thoughts.

Answer to Question 2

C
A critical period of development refers to a specific phase or period when the presence of a function or reasoning has its greatest effect on a specific aspect of development. For example, if a child does not walk by the age of 20 months, there is delayed gross motor ability, which slows exploration and manipulation of the environment. The success or failure experienced within a phase affects the child's ability to complete the next phases.
