Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The zone of proximal development refers to the range of tasks that a child can accomplish with the help of a more knowledgeable other, but cannot yet do independently. Breanne's lower limit of her zone of proximal development for walking would be walking alone by holding on to a piece of furniture, as she is able to take a few steps with support but cannot yet walk independently. Options A and B refer to tasks that are beyond Breanne's current abilities, while option D suggests a level of support that is already within her current capabilities.
