Answer to Question 1

C
Field tests for running are good for children and can be used when assessing cardiorespiratory fitness. The step test is appropriate for adults. The 12-inch bench height is too high for young children. The sit-and-reach test and range-of-motion exercises would be appropriate when assessing flexibility.

Answer to Question 2

A
After outlining the options, the next step is resolving the dilemma by choosing the best option. A choice cannot be implemented until an action is chosen. An action cannot be evaluated until an action is chosen and implemented. Considering the dilemma and determining who is involved must precede the step of writing down all possible options.
