The table shows that between two and three years of age, children's receptive vocabulary (words they understand) is about twice as large as their expressive vocabulary (words they can say). This means that they understand more words than they can speak, supporting option B. Option A is not explicitly stated in the table, as the rate of word learning can vary among children. Option C is contradicted by the table, which shows that children at this age are able to use two-word phrases. Option D is not addressed in the table.
