b) A firefighter who rescues people from a burning building.
c) A parent who lets Kofi have as much candy as he wants.
d) A friend who shares toys with Kofi.

Answer 1

In the pre-conventional stage of moral development, a 5-year-old child like Kofi would most likely view a friend who shares toys with him as moral.

Step-by-step explanation:

A 5-year-old child, like Kofi, is most likely in the pre-conventional stage of moral development, as theorized by Lawrence Kohlberg. In this stage, young children view morality in terms of gaining rewards and avoiding punishments. Therefore, Kofi would most likely view a friend who shares toys with him as moral, since it brings him pleasure and happiness.
