Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
During the period of concrete operational thought, children are able to classify or group objects based on their common elements. Abstract thinking, problem solving via the scientific method, and independent decision making are higher-level functions, typically seen in adolescents.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
From 6 to 12 years of age, children grow an average of 2.5 inches (6 to 7 cm) per year, increasing their height by at least 1 foot. An increase of 7 pounds (3 to 3.5 kg) per year in weight is expected. Abdominal breathing is typical of a preschooler and would have disappeared several years earlier. The third molars do not erupt until late adolescence.
