Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Ten-year-olds like having their own bedroom or at least their own dresser, where they can store a collection and know it is free from parents' or siblings' eyes. One of the best gifts for a 10-year-old is a box which locks. The nurse found the 10-year-old child's collection and needs to return it where it was found. The child does not have diabetes. The nurse should not throw out the child's collection. The mother does not need to be asked about the child's craving sweets.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Most 7-year-olds can tell the time in hours, but they may have trouble with concepts such as half past and quarter to, especially with the prevalence of digital clocks. Six-year-olds still define objects by use. Eight- and nine-year-olds have moved passed telling time and are interested in mastering other things.
