Feedback
A Incorrect. The use of fantasy and abstract language is the exact opposite of what is best.
B Incorrect. Magical language is the exact opposite of what is best.
C Correct. When preschoolers lack information or do not understand something, they fill in the gaps with their imagination. Since an avid imagination can be far worse than reality, it is better to communicate with honesty, in simple sentences using concrete language.
