Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, E
According to Bronfenbrenner, a child's microsystem includes systems in which the child is actively involved and typically includes family, peer group, and school. The dynamics between school and home make up the mesosystem. A parent's job would be part of the exosystem.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A toddler should gain 4-6 lb each year from the ages of 1 to 3. This child should now weigh somewhere between 26 and 28 lb, so he or she is underweight.
