Answer to Question 1

B
About a quarter of sexually abused children are abused by a birth parent. Studies have shown that about half of sexual abuse perpetrators were themselves abused by a parent or other caretakers. Nearly all perpetrators of sexual abuse were male.

Answer to Question 2

B
Preoperational thought marks the beginning use of symbols and requires reorganization of thinking. The use of symbols allow make-believe play and development of language.
