Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At four years old, Roger would have developed the ability to use negatives and imperatives in his language. He may also be able to understand and use more complex syntactical rules, but not to the extent described in option B. Understanding metaphor and satire is a higher-level language skill that would typically develop later on, so option C is not applicable. Option A is also not applicable as four-year-olds typically do not have an understanding of complex grammar forms.
