I asked this question a few days ago-

Question

and several tutors said there is no
one correct answer. There has to be one answer better,because I can only mark one answer.

For many children,the development
of their imagination affects the development of:

A. empathy
B. literacy
C. intellect
D. parallel play skills

This is what my text states:

Activities that emphasize multicultural education(such as using the music or learning the dances of other cultures and countries)or that enhance a respect
for the environment or the world's
creatres can have a significant impact
on young children. For such activities
to do so,the imagination must play a
large role. To feel empathy,one must
be able to imagine what it is like to
be someone else.

Would (A)empathy- be the best answer?

Answer 1

Yes, in that context, A is the best answer.

But as we discussed a day or two ago, some of these questions aren't very well worded. (Example: the question that assumed that low-income teachers were deficient in language skills.)

Answer 2

No, I would choose D
