Answer 1

(A) When talking to others, young children often fail to take their listeners' knowledge and perspectives into account.

Step-by-step explanation:

A five-year-old is still in the process of intellectual development, so she is not yet able to identify perspectives and make logical associations, such as the fact that two people she knows but who are in different environments do not know each other, like the case of the teacher and a personal friend. Adults know this and should seek to develop these skills in children, but in a natural and healthy manner.
