While I don't have the specific context of the mentioned text and authors (Gordon and Browne, Santrock, Piaget…), I can provide some general advice based on the theories of these authors and general knowledge in the field of cognitive and language development: 31. c. Naturally and not taught. Most theories suggest language is naturally acquired within a social environment. 32. d. Knowledgeable and creative teachers. While all factors are important, the teacher's approach can heavily impact outcomes even with limited resources. 33. a. Positive impact on all aspects of development. A loving and caring family may generally promote positive child development. 34. c. a continuous and ongoing process. According to Piaget, cognitive development involves constant assimilation and accommodation. 35. d. In a variety of locations, including suburban and township areas. Resources can vary widely regardless of location. 36. d. Lack of resources. Child-headed families typically face many challenges, including lack of resources. 37. d. progress from one stage of thought to the next. Equilibration is about helping the child move from one stage of cognitive development to the next. 38. a. A system of symbols. Language is a form of communication using a system of symbols. 39. c. Recognising pictures of nursery rhymes. Preoperational stage is around the time where children can recognize pictures and symbols. 40. d. It deals with vocabulary and word meanings. Semantics is precisely the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning. 41. b. 2–7 years. This is typically when the Preoperational stage occurs according to Piaget. 42. e. Focus on developmentally appropriate programming. This could be a key advantage. 43. c. Associate objects with words and manipulate them. This is one of the cornerstones of Piaget's preoperational stage. 44. a. Specific rules for communication. Rules and systems are integral to language. 45. c. It limits intellectual development, among other things. Poverty typically has a negative influence on multiple areas of child development. 46. d. By maintaining a balance between assimilation and accommodation. 47. e. Child-headed families only. The paper, as it seems from the question, mentions the impact of different types of families. 48. d. Children develop at their own pace, and milestones are not rigid cut-off achievements. 49. e. Moral. This question relies heavily on the specific context of the source text. 50. c. By continuously using assimilation and accommodation. Piaget believed that children continuously adapt to their environment through these processes.
