Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Collaboration with adults to deceive others in games involving trickery and participating in pretend play with siblings and peers both involve the use of beliefs and desires to achieve a goal or outcome. Through these activities, a child can develop an understanding that beliefs and desires play a role in shaping behavior. Option A and E are incorrect because solitary play does not involve social interactions that would require the use of beliefs and desires. Option B is a good choice but does not capture the additional importance of collaborating with parents and adults. Therefore, option D is the best answer.
