Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A little girl who puts on her mother's makeup may be told that she is cute, but her brother will be
scolded saying boys don't wear makeup. This is an example of direct reinforcement. Children also learn gender roles through indirect reinforcement. For example, if a little boy's male friends are punished for crying, he will learn that boys don't cry.
