Answer 1

According to Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development, children in pretend play:

a. reveal the areas of competence they are striving to master.

This option reflects the idea that through pretend play, children can demonstrate their developing skills and understanding, as well as their ability to take on roles and scenarios that may be just beyond their current capabilities, thus benefiting from social interaction and guidance from peers or adults.
