Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
By 18 months, a toddler should have been walking alone for several months. The toddler who walks holding onto furniture should be evaluated by a developmental specialist.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
E, A, C, B, D

The development advances from the newborn's closed hands to the open star hands of the older infant, to the squeeze action, to a grasp with thumb and fingers, to the pincher movement of thumb and forefinger.
