b)catching a butterfly
c)hitting a pitched ball
d)playing tag
i put d
This is for #1:
I had such a hard time with this ?. The answer is Spatial Awareness, Definition: "Generally speaking, spatial awareness is the recognition of the distance between objects. More specifically, though, the term "spatial awareness” refers to a person’s ability to judge the location of themselves in relation to the objects around them and is commonly used in reference to stages of child development."
I just took the test and got it right!!!!
#2: closed skill is the key here....answer is C
*CORRECTION* I meant A for #2! Striking a stationary ball, is a closed skill. sorry, don't know why I put c.
To answer the first question, the teacher's request for the child to use a small stepladder to reach a book on a shelf is related to developing d) spatial awareness. Spatial awareness refers to an individual's understanding of their own body in relation to the surrounding space, including objects and other people. In this case, the teacher is encouraging the child to develop their spatial awareness by using the stepladder to determine the appropriate distance and placement necessary to access the book on the shelf.
For the second question, the closed skill is a skill that is performed in a predictable and stable environment. Among the given options, a) striking a stationary ball is an example of a closed skill. Unlike catching a butterfly (b), hitting a pitched ball (c), or playing tag (d), striking a stationary ball has a fixed target and does not involve adapting to changes in the environment or opponents.
In summary:
1) The correct answer to the first question is d) spatial awareness.
2) The correct answer to the second question is a) striking a stationary ball.
