Katie is two years old. it is probable that she can: A. flex her leg and kick a ball. B. push against the ball,but not really kick it. C. kick a ball with a straight leg. D. kick a ball with her leg and have arm opposition. I chosed A
I disagree. Have you watched 2-year-olds at play?
ok my answer is C
To determine the answer to this question, we need to consider the typical physical capabilities of a two-year-old child.
At around two years old, most children have developed enough strength and coordination to perform certain movements. Let's go through the options one by one:
A. Flex her leg and kick a ball: It is likely that a two-year-old child can flex their leg and kick a ball. This option seems plausible.
B. Push against the ball, but not really kick it: While a two-year-old may have enough strength to push against a ball, the question specifies "kick a ball," suggesting a more active movement than just pushing. This option seems less likely.
C. Kick a ball with a straight leg: Two-year-old children often have limited control over their leg movements and may have difficulty keeping their leg straight while kicking. This option seems less likely.
D. Kick a ball with her leg and have arm opposition: Arm opposition refers to the coordinated movement of the arms in opposition to the legs. At around two years old, children may start to develop basic arm-leg coordination, but it may not be fully refined. This option is plausible but may require more advanced motor skills.
Considering these possibilities, option A, "Flex her leg and kick a ball," seems to be the most probable choice for a two-year-old child.
