This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Twelve-year-old Nathaniel was having trouble solving the word problems in his math homework. His dad began reading the problems aloud and emphasizing the important information. As Nathaniel started catching on, his dad gradually provided less help for each new problem. This interaction illustrates:
A) Piaget's concept of concrete operational thought.
B) Erikson's concept of industry versus inferiority.
C) Vygotsky's concept of scaffolding.
D) Piaget's concept of conservation.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter C) Vygotsky's concept of scaffolding.
Explanation:
According to Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development, scaffolding is the process in which a supporter helps a learner, but only to a certain extent. As the learner grows more knowledgeable, the supporter gradually withdraws his help, allowing the learner to do things on his own. Eventually, the learner becomes responsible for the outcome of his tasks. That is what Nathaniel's father is doing while helping him with his math homework. He assists Nathaniel, but slowly steps away allowing his son to solve problems on his own as he gains more knowledge.
Answer:
D) The Soviet economy was a tremendous success story; the USSR would still be together if it were not for the ethnic differences.
Explanation:
The Soviet economy was not a tremendous success, in fact, it was in many aspects a failure (although it was a success in some fields).
The other 3, true statements in the question give us a clue why:
The Soviet system benefited the center (Russia) disproportionally, leaving aside the other, peripheral republics in Central Asia, the Caucasus, The Baltics, and Eastern Europe, which were often very poor.
The Soviet system used a planned economy, instead of a market economy, and this led to many errors in the production of goods and services. Resources were often poured in unprofitable industries over more profitable ones, and the geographical location of the economic sectors often did not make sense.
Things that in a market system would likely not happen, ocurred in the soviet planned economy because the planners did not realize their mistakes.
<span>The sun's energy is absorbed by the top layer of the ocean water. The water molecules spread apart, become less dense, and cause movement of water. The energy from warmer water transfers to cooler water. Note: Satellite imagery allows you to see this process. Combined with wind currents, water of different densities that is mixing can be seen on the ocean's surface in the form of ripples or swirls.

Answer:
On the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), the <u>verbal</u> score represents subtest scores on verbal tasks, such as vocabulary, comprehension, and general knowledge; the <u>performance</u> score represents subtest scores on nonverbal tasks, such as identifying missing parts in incomplete pictures, arranging pictures to tell a story, or arranging blocks to match a pattern.
Explanation:
WAIS is an Intelligence test who has different subtests to measure both verbal and non verbal performance. The intention of ths scale of intelligence is to calculate the intelligence quiotient. Also to analyze whether the person has specif problems in a particular area.
Two of the misconceptions that derived from the Anti Drug Abuse Act of 1986 and that the third report wanted to fix were:
- There is no rational medical or penological reason why charges related to crack cocaine are treated as much worse than those related to powdered cocaine. The reasoning appears to be racially motivated.
- The stereotype of "crack babies" is a false one. Babies exposed to crack cocaine exhibit the same conditions as those exposed to powdered cocaine or tobacco, which are low weight, height or head circumference. Developmental delays and other similar problems are attributed to the environment the child grows up in, not to in-utero problems.
