Answer 1

She has not started to compare her performance against others

Step-by-step explanation:

Kids constantly experience activities for the first time. As we grow older, this stops happening and we don't experience new situations as often as we used to do when we were growing up.

Specially in infants, they are starting to learn about the world and to have new experiences.

Irene is 4 years old and she will shoot baskets for the first time, she doesn't have a previous experience and hasn't played against others, therefore, when asked how many balls she will be able to shoot through the hoop she answers "all of them".

This has nothing to do with her physical condition or the fact that she might know that his dad will help her.

This merely responses to the fact that she has not yet compared herself to others when it comes to shooting baskets and therefore she believes she will shoot through all of them.
