Answer: Further fighting could not accomplish anything useful and losses would be heavy

Explanation: General Robert Edward Lee, had only hungry and ragged men. Trapped in the vicinity of Richmond by the forces of Generals Grant and Sheridan, he tries one last card to escape Appomatox. His men manage to penetrate and cross a first line of the enemy cavalry troop, but are surrounded by infantry regiments, camouflaged in the vicinity.

For over a week, Lee had tried to escape Grant west to Richmond and Petersburg, Virginia. After a ten-month siege of both cities, Union forces broke through the defenses, forcing Lee to retreat. The Confederates moved along the Appomattox River, south, with General Phillip Sheridan following them closely. Lee's army had little food and soldiers began to desert in large numbers. When Lee reached Appomattox, he realized that his path was blocked. He had no alternative but to propose to meet Grant.

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.
