Learning to speak, read and write, is affected by a number of factors such as -
- A.
  
  Emotional security
- B.
  
  A need to learn
Correct Answer
A. Emotional security

Explanation
Emotional security plays a crucial role in the process of learning to speak, read, and write. When individuals feel emotionally secure, they are more likely to engage in learning activities without fear or anxiety. This sense of security creates a conducive environment for effective communication and language development. On the other hand, individuals who lack emotional security may struggle to express themselves and may have difficulty acquiring language skills. Therefore, emotional security is an important factor that influences the ability to learn and master language skills.

Making sense out of visual symbols is not a vital part of language development and communication.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The given statement is false. Making sense out of visual symbols is indeed a vital part of language development and communication. Visual symbols, such as letters, numbers, and pictures, are used to represent words, concepts, and ideas. Children learn to recognize and understand these symbols as they develop their language skills. Visual symbols are also used in various forms of communication, such as sign language and written communication. Therefore, the ability to interpret and make sense of visual symbols plays a crucial role in language development and communication.

Research into poor reading consistently finds that - (Select three)
- A.
  
  Lack of books in the home
- B.
  
  Mothers who work all day
- C.
  
  Small families
- D.
  
  Poor health
Correct Answer(s)
A. Lack of books in the home
B. Mothers who work all day
D. Poor health

Explanation
The correct answer for this question is lack of books in the home, mothers who work all day, and poor health. Research has consistently shown that a lack of books in the home can have a significant impact on a child's reading ability. When children have limited access to books, they have fewer opportunities to develop their reading skills. Additionally, mothers who work all day may have less time to engage in reading activities with their children, which can also hinder reading development. Poor health can also be a contributing factor, as children with health issues may have difficulty focusing on reading or attending school regularly.

Reading readiness is a matter of " being able to meet the demands of the task and to relate it to previous learning."
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Reading readiness refers to a child's ability to meet the requirements of reading tasks and connect them to their prior knowledge. This means that a child who is reading ready can understand and engage with the material they are reading, making connections to what they already know. Therefore, the statement that reading readiness is a matter of being able to meet the demands of the task and relate it to previous learning is true.

6.

Where experience is lacking, good reasoning based on mistaken perceptions brings about faulty conclusions.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
When someone lacks experience in a certain area, they may rely on their own perceptions and assumptions to make conclusions. However, these perceptions can be mistaken or inaccurate, leading to faulty conclusions. This suggests that in the absence of experience, good reasoning alone is not enough to ensure accurate conclusions. Therefore, the statement is true.

Rate this question:
7.

Strong motivation goes a long way to make up for maximum capacity.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
This statement is false because strong motivation alone cannot compensate for maximum capacity. While motivation is important, it is not enough to make up for a lack of ability or skill. Maximum capacity refers to the highest level of performance or capability that a person can reach, and motivation alone cannot surpass or replace this limit. Therefore, the statement is incorrect.
