Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The passage states that girls in middle childhood become more likely to define themselves in "feminine" terms like "warm" and "compassionate," but they do not become less likely to add "masculine" traits to their self-perceptions. Therefore, it can be inferred that girls in middle childhood might also describe themselves as "forceful" and "self-reliant," which are traditionally considered masculine traits. Choices A, B, and C are more typically associated with feminine stereotypes and do not necessarily fit with the passage's description of girls adding both feminine and masculine traits to their self-perceptions.
