Can someone please help with this question because I am confused.
Myra is three years old and is developing normally.
Which statement is True about her
physically?
1. Myra's thumb is opposable to
just one finger.
2. Myra will grow approximately
2 to 3 inches taller this year.
My text states:
Preschoolers grow at the rate of 2 to
3 inches in height and 4 to 6 pounds
in weight in a year.
At about 18 to 24 months, the child's
thumb is used in opposition to just
one finger.
I am confused- because if 3 year old Myra is developing normally wouldn't she already have experiences both examples 1 and 2?
I don't understand what to put for
the answer----- Please help!
Since Myra is 3, she should be able to use her thumb in opposition to MORE than just one finger.
She should, however ,be growing at the rate they describe on a yearly basis.
To determine which statement is true about Myra, we need to carefully analyze the information provided.
According to the given text, preschoolers grow at the rate of 2 to 3 inches in height and 4 to 6 pounds in weight in a year. This indicates that statement 2, "Myra will grow approximately 2 to 3 inches taller this year," could be a possible true statement.
Additionally, the text mentions that at about 18 to 24 months, a child's thumb is used in opposition to just one finger. Since Myra is three years old, and she is said to be developing normally, it can be inferred that her thumb is already opposable to just one finger. Therefore, statement 1, "Myra's thumb is opposable to just one finger," may also be true.
To provide a more accurate answer, we would need additional information about Myra's current height and thumb development. However, based on the information provided, both statements 1 and 2 could potentially be true for Myra.
