Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The example that characterizes the use of autonomous language is example 1. In this example, Mary, age four, uses words to specifically communicate her desire for a banana to her mother. This reflects the use of autonomous language because Mary is independently expressing her needs and wants through the use of verbal communication.
