Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sentence mentions that infants in some institutions are never propped up, which implies that they are delayed in their ability to sit up. Therefore, they sit much later than other children in this context. Option A (much earlier than) and B (at the same time as) are incorrect based on the information given. Option D (in a different posture than) is not mentioned in the sentence and is therefore not a valid answer.
