Answer to Question 1

Ans: A

Development is an orderly pattern of changes in structure, thoughts, feelings, or behaviors resulting from maturation, experiences, and learning. It is a dynamic and continuous process as one proceeds through life, characterized by a series of ascents, plateaus, and declines. Growth is an increase in body size or changes in body cell structure, function, and complexity.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C

Cephalocaudal (proceeding from the head to the tail) development is the first trend, followed by proximodistal (progressing from gross motor to fine motor movements), and finally by symmetric (both sides of the body developing equally).
