Question

Which of the following best represents the average rate at which infants grow in height during the first four years after birth?

a.3 inches per month

b.3 inches per year

c.3 feet per month

d.3 feet per year

Answer 1

The correct answer is option b, that is, 3 inches per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Humans seem to develop at a specifically gradual rate unless and until one reaches puberty. The rate of growth could differ on the basis of the genetic composition and nutrition plan of the infants. For example, the Asian babies grow at a gradual rate with 2 to 2.5 inches in a year. The three inches in a year best illustrates the average rate at which the infants grow in height at the time of the initial four years post-birth.

Answer 2

3 inches per year best represents the average rate at which infants grow in height during the first four years after birth. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "b". The other choices given in the question seems quiet absurd. So by the method of elimination, one can say that option "b" is correct.
