Answer to Question 1

A
This is not a period of rapid growth. Infancy and puberty are the periods of the most rapid growth. There is not enough information to determine how much nutrition the child has been receiving or if an illness is present.

Answer to Question 2

C
Bubble baths can cause a chemical irritation.
