Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Secular trends since the 1800s indicate that children are taller and heavier. Answers should include
environmental, genetic, and evolutionary arguments. Short stature children rarely show psychosocial
deficits, but some studies indicate academic underachievement associated with greater economic
disadvantage.
