The clear message to a child is statement C. "Take your dirty dishes to the kitchen." This statement is direct and specific, giving the child a clear instruction of what they need to do. To determine which statement is the clear message, we can analyze the options and look for clarity, specificity, and directness in the message. Let's break down the other options to see why they may not be as clear:
Option A, "Stop that right now, and get ready for a nap," is not as clear because it includes two separate instructions. The child might not know exactly what "that" refers to, and the message could be confusing.
Option B, "Cleanup time. Hurry up," is not very specific. It does not specify what needs to be cleaned up, and "Hurry up" does not provide a clear direction.
Option D, "What a rude thing to do!" is not a clear message because it only expresses the speaker's reaction to the child's behavior. It does not convey a specific instruction or request.
By comparing the statements and analyzing their clarity, we can determine that option C, "Take your dirty dishes to the kitchen," is the example of a clear message to a child.
