Answer 1

3. b. Gross motor skills.

A function involving the precise movement of muscles with the intention to perform a specific act is called a motor skill. Skills requiring whole-body movement, which involve the large muscles of the body to perform functions such as standing, walking, running, jumping, sitting upright etc., are called gross motor skills. Thus gross motor skill is the answer.

Fine motor skills are small movements such as picking up and holding small objects that use the small muscles of the fingers, toes, wrists, lips, and tongue. Specialized motor skills are movements involving organized activities like playing games, dancing etc. Dull motor skills refer to diminished motor skills. So these options are not the answer to the question.

4. b. A secure attachment

A child that exhibits behavior such as being close to its mother or caregiver, is not afraid to explore the world around him, and who sees his mom as a home base is characteristic of a secure attachment. From repeated positive experiences with mom or caregiver, infants develop a secure attachment to that person. Children with secure attachment feel protected by mom/caregiver. Even if they show distress when mom/caregiver leaves, they are able to compose themselves knowing that the mom/caregiver will return. So, secure attachment is the answer.

Infants whose experiences with mom/caregiver are negative or unpredictable develop an insecure attachment. This is mostly an avoidant pattern characterized by having a typical dismissive attitude. This person shuns intimacy and has difficulties in reaching other people in times of need. Two other types of insecure attachment are resistant and disorganized. OCD or obsessive-compulsive disorder is characterized by thoughts and fears or obsessions that lead to repetitive or compulsive behaviors. According to Freud, a child fixated in the oral stage of development shows a persistent focus on an earlier psychosexual stage. The individual remains stuck in this stage until this issue is resolved. It is clear that none of these options can be the answer.
