Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Concept
Understanding common baby gestures helps in interpreting the infant's needs and emotions.

Step 2: Meaning
The given options describe different baby gestures and match them with their corresponding meanings. The task is to correctly identify which gesture corresponds to each meaning provided.

Step 3: Analysis
Let's analyze each option: Option A: A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV - Gesture A (Allows food to run out of mouth) means Satisfied or not hungry. - Gesture B (Smiles and holds out arms) means Wants to be picked up. - Gesture C (Pouts) means Displeased. - Gesture D (Smacks lips or ejects tongue) means Hungry. Option B: A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV - This option does not match the meanings correctly as it suggests that allowing food to run out of mouth is a sign of being displeased, which contradicts the given meaning (Satisfied or not hungry). Option C: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II - This option also does not align with the correct meanings. Allowing food to run out of the mouth should be Satisfied or not hungry, and pouting is a sign of displeased. Option D: A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I - This option incorrectly matches all gestures except for D (Smacks lips or ejects tongue), which correctly means Hungry. However, the other mappings are incorrect. From this analysis, only Option A correctly matches each gesture with its corresponding meaning as described in the question.

Step 4: Conclusion
Option A is the correct choice because it accurately pairs each baby gesture with its intended meaning: Allows food to run out of mouth - Satisfied or not hungry (II) Smiles and holds out arms - Wants to be picked up (III) Pouts - Displeased (I) Smacks lips or ejects tongue - Hungry (IV) Final Answer: (A)
