1. The correct answer is D. all of the above. Gender, physical size, and language are all examples of things that generally remain stable across the lifespan.

To determine the correct answer, we can go through each option and consider if it remains stable across the lifespan:

A. Gender: Generally, gender remains stable throughout a person's life. While individuals may identify with a different gender over time, their biological sex remains the same.
B. Physical size: While physical size may change to some extent throughout childhood and adolescence, it tends to stabilize in adulthood and remains relatively consistent throughout the rest of the lifespan.
C. Language: Once individuals acquire language during early childhood, it remains largely stable throughout their life, although they may learn additional languages or experience some changes in vocabulary or fluency.

Therefore, the best choice is D. all of the above because all three options (gender, physical size, and language) generally remain stable across the lifespan.

2. The correct answer is B. It examines the links between childhood and adulthood.

To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the life-span perspective and what it entails:

A. The life-span perspective is not primarily concerned with characteristics of individuals that remain the same. Instead, it focuses on changes and development across the entire lifespan.
B. This statement is accurate. The life-span perspective looks at how childhood experiences and development relate to adulthood and vice versa. It emphasizes the continuity and interconnectedness of development across different stages of life.
C. The life-span perspective does consider universalities across people, such as developmental milestones and patterns that are typical for most individuals. However, it also places importance on individual differences and diversity.
D. The life-span perspective is not limited to adulthood and old age but encompasses the entire range of human development, from conception to death.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. It examines the links between childhood and adulthood.
