LR Question 22 Explanation

QUESTION TEXT: In an experiment, two-year-old boys and their fathers…

QUESTION TYPE: Most Strongly Supported

ANALYSIS: Basically all we know is that kids used rolling pins, they heard they were rolling pins, but they could only identify their own individual rolling pins. It sounds like they didn’t get the general idea of a rolling pin, and only attached the phrase “rolling pin” to their own rolling pin.

We don’t know how well they used the rolling pins or anything else of that nature.

___________

1. They may or may not have. Just because they didn’t identify other rolling pins doesn’t mean they failed to understand what their own rolling pin did.
2. CORRECT. Yes. Each child thought rolling pin only referred to their own rolling pin.
3. No. If the children had understood this, they would have figured out that the other rolling pins were rolling pins.
4. We don’t know that. We know they could only identify the rolling pins they had used, but perhaps they could identify other utensils.
5. Yes, they were. Each child could pick out his own rolling pin.
