I agree with your first answer, but doubt your second.
What does your book say?
Wrong answer
For the first question, as Rosa grows, she will generally learn to control her head last (option D).
Typically, newborns have minimal control over their head movements, and it takes time for them to develop the strength and coordination required to hold their head steady. As they grow and gain more control over their muscles, they will gradually learn to control their head movements.
For the second question, a preschool child can be designated a reader when they understand and/or act appropriately when looking at a written word (option D).
Becoming a proficient reader involves various skills such as phonemic and phonological awareness, as mentioned in option C. However, this question specifically asks for the point at which a preschool child can be considered a reader. At this stage, it is more important for them to demonstrate an understanding of written words rather than focusing solely on sounding words out correctly. So, option D is the most appropriate answer.
