Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
For infants younger than 6 months of age, objects such as a black-and-white checkerboard or concentric circles are best because an infant's vision is more attuned to these high-contrast patterns than to colors. High-contrast animal figures such as pandas or Dalmatians also work well.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
