Question

Omar can tie his shoes but only with his mother’s help. This suggests that tying shoes:
a. is beyond Omar's scope of capability.b. is within Omar's zone of proximal development.c. is an innate process that simply needs nurturing to unfold.d. is too difficult for a child his age and should not be attempted.

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

A zone of proximal development represents the disparity between the abilities of a learner with help and without help.

It means that although, the individual is unable to do a task with minimal assistance, he or she can carry out the tasks with the help of another person.

This is the case with Omar as he can tie his shoes only with the help of his mother but cannot without assistance.
