Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While infants are born with certain mechanisms and abilities that aid in language acquisition, they do not have fully formed language skills at birth. Language development is a gradual process that occurs over time, with no specific point at which a child can be said to have "graduated" to having language. While most typically developing children begin to produce their first words around 12 months of age, this is not true for all children and language acquisition continues throughout childhood and beyond. Therefore, the best choice is D.
