Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The typical elementary grade student is in Piaget's concrete operational stage and so can understand and carry out tasks that are based on such forms of logic as class inclusion, seriation, conservation, and symbolic representation. But their ability to think logically is limited to tasks that involve or refer to real, tangible objects and ideas. They cannot, for example, understand the hidden meaning behind such abstract language forms as sarcasm, metaphor, or allegory. Elementary grade
students have excellent recognition memory and short-term memory. But their ability to employ such advanced memory skills as elaboration and organization is limited. When asked to sort pictures into categories, for example, they create fewer and more idiosyncratic categories than do older children.
