Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A child can be a passive receptacle of the environment when he or she reacts to parental behavior. For example, if a harsh parenting style is employed, the child may grow up believing punishment is likely and that little positive outcomes can be found in response to their own behaviors. On the other hand, children rarely are mere receptacles of the environment--they respond and react to it, which makes them active participants in their own development, as well. So the child who has harsh parents may respond to that by feeling angry and acting out. This behavior may in turn influence the kind of environment the child subsequently experiences. A child who acts out may get into more trouble, eliciting more harsh response (from parents and perhaps school officials), which may in turn produce more anger.
