Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Stage 5, 12 to 18 months, is characterized by discovery of new goals and ways to attain goals. Rituals are important in this stage.
Rationale 2: Stage 6, inventions of new means, is from 18 to 24 months. The significant behavior is identified by interpretation of the environment by mental image. Make-believe and pretend-play are in use during this stage.
Rationale 3: The preconceptual phase, 2 to 4 years, is when the child uses an egocentric approach to accommodate the demands of an environment.
Rationale 4: The concrete operations phase, 7 to 11 years, is where the child is able to solve concrete problems and begins to understand relationships such as size, right, and left, and is cognizant of viewpoints.
