Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research studies have shown that children have a significantly larger receptive vocabulary (the words they understand and comprehend) than their productive vocabulary (the words they can actually use and speak). This means that children can understand and recognize more words than they are able to speak or produce. Therefore, option C, 'understand; speak,' is the correct answer.
