Answer to Question 1

Mindy stops herself when she begins to point to the girl in the yellow dress, presumably because she has previously observed Jonathan being chastised for pointing. It should be noted, however, that Mindy tattles on the girl in the yellow dress even though Mr. Corbet has scolded Jonathan for doing so; one possible explanation is that Mindy doesn't know what tattling means.

Answer to Question 2

Rodney is unable to think of Ms. Tollefson as being both a teacher and a skier at the same time. In other words, he is demonstrating an inability to engage in multiple classification.
