Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 12-year-old is at an age where they are likely able to use skills like scanning the store to find items efficiently. The 5-year-old is still very young and may not have developed these skills yet, while the 8-year-old might be somewhere in between. Therefore, it is unlikely that all of the children will exhibit the same behavior, making option D unlikely. Option A is also unlikely, as it is rare for all children to immediately retrieve items without any plan or strategy.
