Answer to Problem 1MM

Correct answer: Children reach the on-word stage of speech development at about 1 year. Therefore, option c. is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reasons for the correct statement:

One-word stage is where the child at the age of 1 year starts to speak one word. The child starts to associate that sounds have a meaning. They mostly use words that have single syllables.

Option c. is given as “1 year”.

As one-word stage begins around first year, option c. is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option a. is given as “4 months”.

Around 4 months the child is in babbling stage, where the child makes sounds that is unrelated to the mother tongue. Therefore, option a. is incorrect.

Option b. is given as “6 months”.

Babbling stage continues from 4 months to one year. Therefore, option b. is incorrect.

Option d. is given as “2 years”.

Two-word stage starts when the child is 2 years. Therefore, option d. is incorrect.

Hence, options a., b., and d. are incorrect.

Conclusion
 Stages of speech development help to study, in which the humans perceive the speech during the early development. These stages also help to identify if the child has speech impairment.
