Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The text states that "a number of studies have consistently shown that normal intellectual and social development of children requires nurturance." Therefore, choice B, which states that normal development requires nurturance, is the best choice. Heredity is certainly a factor in development, but the text does not suggest that it is the only factor. There is no evidence in the text to support choice C or D.
