Final answer:

Robie's belief that toys have feelings indicates animism, while Sue's belief that her grandmother would know about her activities without being told is an example of egocentrism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Robie's comment when Mom tosses the action figures into the toy box and slams the lid, crying "no they're scared of the dark", shows animism. This is the belief that inanimate objects have feelings and consciousness. Sue's assumption that grandma knows she went to the beach even though she didn't tell her shows egocentrism, which is the inability to differentiate between one's own perspective and someone else's perspective. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is Robie's comment shows animism, and Sue's shows egocentrism, which corresponds to option (b) animism, egocentrism.Sue's comment shows animism because she assumes that the grandma knows about her beach trip even though she didn't tell her. Animism is the belief that inanimate objects have thoughts, feelings, and intentions.
