Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, E, F
Developmental achievements for a 4-year-old child include throwing a ball overhead, having a vocabulary of 1500 words, tending to be selfish and impatient, and perhaps having an imaginary playmate. Caring for oneself totally and skipping and hopping on alternate feet are achievements normally seen in the 5-year-old age group.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
On the first day of preschool, in some instances, it is helpful for parents to remain for at least part of the first day until the child is comfortable. If parents stay, they should be available to the child but inconspicuous. It would not be appropriate not to stay, to have someone else take the child to school, or to stay and participate in activities.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
