Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A The use of reflexes is primarily during the first month of life.
B Primary circular reaction stage marks the replacement of reflexes with voluntary
acts. The infant is in this stage from age 1 month to 4 months.
C Infants are usually in the secondary circular reaction stage from age 4 months to
8 months. This stage is characterized by a continuation of the primary circular
reaction because of the response that results. Shaking is performed to hear the
noise of the rattle, not just for shaking.
D The fourth sensorimotor stage is coordination of secondary schemata. This is a
transitional stage in which increasing motor skills enable greater exploration of
the environment.

Answer to Question 2

1; 3; 4
Rationale:
1. Statistics show that about 75 of unintentional deaths and suicides are committed with firearms found in the home. The safety measures of using gun locks, keeping the gun and ammunition separate, and putting the guns in a locked cabinet at least will make the guns less accessible.
2. Even with knowledge of the proper use of a firearm, a 10-year-old child's judgment might not be mature enough to prevent misuse of it. Statistics show that about 75 of unintentional deaths and suicides are committed with firearms found in the home. The safety measures of using gun locks, keeping the gun and ammunition separate, and putting the guns in a locked cabinet at least will make the guns less accessible.
3. Statistics show that about 75 of unintentional deaths and suicides are committed with firearms found in the home. The safety measures of using gun locks, keeping the gun and ammunition separate, and putting the guns in a locked cabinet at least will make the guns less accessible.
4. Statistics show that about 75 of unintentional deaths and suicides are committed with firearms found in the home. The safety measures of using gun locks, keeping the gun and ammunition separate, and putting the guns in a locked cabinet at least will make the guns less accessible.
5. Telling a child that a gun is dangerous and not to be touched probably will make it more fascinating. Statistics show that about 75 of unintentional deaths and suicides are committed with firearms found in the home. The safety measures of using gun locks, keeping the gun and ammunition separate, and putting the guns in a locked cabinet at least will make the guns less accessible.
