Answer:
A). Children's behavior is often goal-directed.
Explanation:
Piaget gave his theory of 'child development' where he elaborates how a child experiences different stages of cognitive development in order to form a mental construct/replica of the world he is surrounded by.
'Goal-directed' behavior is illustrated as the 'infancy' stage of cognitive development in which the child(infant) develops learning of their environment and begins to indulge in the deliberate behavior which is 'goal-oriented' in order to get their goal accomplished.
In the given situation, Gabriel's intentional behavior is exemplified by her distress(upset behavior) when her mother 'forbids her' to get her target 'dangly earrings' accomplished. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
It was the general feature of "checks and balances" that was included to address the concern expressed by James Madison, since his main concern was that one part of the government, such as the executive branch, would become too powerful.
Zachary Taylor attacked, won over and controlled the northeastern provinces of Mexico. While he had a de-facto power over them, the problem was that the Mexican government did not want to accept this officially.
In order to counter the last problem, Scott attacked Mexico City and controlled it in 1847, after which Mexico had to concede the northeastern territories.
