Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The diet of a woman both before and during pregnancy has a significant effect on fetal development. For women who are at normal weight for height, the recommended weight gain is 25 to 35 pounds over three trimesters. Weight gains of 10 to 20, 15 to 25, and 20 to 30 pounds are too low.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The child beside another child and playing is exhibiting parallel play, characteristic of a toddler. Participating as a group leader does not usually occur until around age 5. Preschoolers (ages 3 to 5) demonstrate their ability to think more complexly by classifying objects according to size or color. A 2-year-old child does not have this ability yet. Gender does not become a factor until the child reaches school-age when the child prefers same sex peers to opposite sex peers.
