Answer:

The box; the basket

Step-by-step explanation:

Theory of Mind refers to the ability to comprehend other people's emotional mental states and acknowledge that mental states may differ from ours.

Developing a mind theory is a main phase in the development of a child.

A very well-developed mind theory helps individuals resolve conflicts, form relationships, and relatively predict the behavior of other people.
