Answer 1

Statement B identifies the central idea of the text.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Statement B is true because babies can't communicate easily. They will take some days to communicate. They will express their feelings through crying and giving their voice loudly.
• So they can't communicate very easily. Due to their inability to communicate, it is impossible to determine their true motivations for kindness. Babies cannot express their feelings easily.
• If they want anything means they will cry. If they are in hunger also they will cry. So shouting and crying is the only thing that babies can do.
