C.
Yes. A is the best answer.
I don't think so. Does your book support this answer?
unstructured, structured
The correct answer is C. unstructured, structured.
To arrive at this answer, you need to understand the situation being described. The sentence states that there is a common misperception among managers regarding the importance of certain types of play for children. It then contrasts two types of play, indicating that managers mistakenly believe one type is more important, but in reality, the other type is actually more important.
To determine the correct answer, let's break down the options:
A. structured, unstructured - This option suggests that managers believe structured play is more important, while in reality, unstructured play is more important. However, this conflicts with the statement that managers have a misperception. Option A is therefore incorrect.
B. limited, unlimited - This option seems to contrast the amount of play children are allowed to have. However, the sentence does not mention anything about the quantity of play, only the type of play. Option B is therefore not a suitable answer.
C. unstructured, structured - This option aligns with the statement, stating that managers mistakenly prioritize unstructured play but that structured play is actually more important. Given that this aligns with the sentence, option C is the correct answer.
D. unlimited, limited - This option deals with the amount of play, which is not the focus of the sentence. So, option D does not fit the context and is incorrect.
Overall, to correctly answer this question, you must carefully consider the information provided and understand the contrast being made between the two types of play. In this case, the correct answer is C. unstructured, structured.
