Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Taking a chore away from the child for a week is an excellent way to reward her for positive behavior. Unplugging the DVD player and assigning an extra chore are examples of negative reinforcement. Ignoring her until she uses good manners is an example of extinction.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Both parents should tell the child about the divorce together, using appropriate terms. The other responses are unacceptable behaviors for the mother, such as competing with the spouse and using the child as a confidant.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
