Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Vygotsky believed that cognitive development was more strongly influenced by adults or others who were more cognitively advanced than by peers. Because of their superior understanding of the world, adults can mediate, or explain, the meaning of various objects and events and the reasons for various rules, thereby providing a more effective base for the child to operate from.
