Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Although the age for growth spurts during puberty varies, growth spurts occur 2 years earlier for girls than for boys.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Daydreaming allows adolescents to act out in their imaginations what will be said or done in certain situations. This helps them to prepare for and cope with interactions with others.
