Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Infant-directed speech, also known as parentese, is used between a parent and a child. It is a scaled-down version of spoken language using simple, well-formed sentences with clear pauses and an exaggerated tone. It provides children with modeling, opportunity to practice, and feedback cues about how their language can change and improve.
