Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Class inclusion is the ability to understand that objects can belong to more than one classification. A school-age child can categorize objects in many ways. Decentering is the ability to project oneself into another person's situation. Accommodation is the ability to adapt thought processes to fit what is perceived. Conservation is the ability to appreciate that a change in shape does not mean a change in size.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Many first-graders are capable of mature action at school but appear less mature when they return home. They may bite their fingernails. Scolding, nagging, threatening, or punishing does not stop nail biting and may make the problem worse. This behavior will stop when the underlying stress is discovered and alleviated. The mother should be encouraged to spend some time with a child after school or in the evening so the child continues to feel secured in the family and does not feel pushed out by being sent to school. Drinking milk will not help alleviate the child's stress. Using rewards or teaching new skills will not relieve the child's stress.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
