Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Because of the dramatic vocabulary increase at this age, 3-year-olds are known to talk incessantly, regardless of whether anyone is listening. A 4- to 5-year-old asks lots of questions and can follow simple directional commands. A 6-year-old can describe an object according to its composition.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
One purpose of an imaginary friend is to be a friend in time of loneliness. Imaginary friends do not take the place of social interactions but may encourage conversation.
Imaginary friends do not take the place of pets or toys. They accomplish what the child is still attempting, not what has already been accomplished.
