Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
With the exception of an increased white blood cell (WBC) count, which is always pathological, the other options are all maturing changes that equip the toddler to better fight disease.

ANS: B, D, E
Finger foods that are varied and colorful and served in colorful dishes at a moderate temperature are all attractive. Foods can be chopped into small pieces but not pureed.
