alleryA child who understands an instruction but refuses to follow it has:
ANot listened at all
BNot heard the speaker
CListened but not obeyed
DObeyed in thought
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Listened but not obeyed
1. Listening differs from obeying.
2. A person who receives and understands an instruction has listened.
3. Choosing not to comply does not undo the listening.
4. So the child listened but did not obey.
**Why not the others:** The child did listen and hear, since the instruction was understood, and refusing is not obeying.
