Final answer:

Both Ellis and Antoine are likely to see an increase in friendship satisfaction as they grow from ages 7 to 11, with involvement in group activities like Little League Baseball and improved cooperation and sharing skills.

Step-by-step explanation:

As children grow from 6 to 11 years old, their play behaviors and social interactions evolve significantly. At around 6 years old, children tend to prefer playing with friends of the same gender. By the time they reach 10 years old, they start engaging in mixed-gender playgroups more frequently.

Friends become more important, and participation in group activities such as sports teams, like Little League Baseball, or scouting becomes appealing. Children at this stage possess better skills in cooperation and sharing, but they may also exhibit jealousy towards peers or siblings.

In regards to Ellis and Antoine, it is likely that both will experience an increase in the satisfaction with their friendships as they continue to develop socially. This development is not exclusive to any gender; rather it is part of the normal growth in social skills and peer interactions during this stage of childhood for both boys and girls.
