A child tells his friend, “I’ve got the best joke. What can leap higher than a tall building?” “Anything! Tall buildings can’t leap!” The child’s understanding of the two interpretations of the question indicates that he has reached which of Piaget’s stages?
A
sensorimotor
B
preoperational
C
concrete operations
D
formal operations
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sensorimotor stage (0–2 years old) Preoperational stage (2–7 years old) Concrete operational stage (7–11 years old) Formal operational stage (11 years old through adulthood)

Detailed explanation-2: -Preoperational Stage During this stage (toddler through age 7), young children are able to think about things symbolically. Their language use becomes more mature. They also develop memory and imagination, which allows them to understand the difference between past and future, and engage in make-believe.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Concrete Operational Stage: 7 to 11 Years Major Characteristics and Developmental Changes: Children begin to thinking logically about concrete events. They begin to understand the concept of conservation (that the amount of liquid in a short, wide cup is equal to that in a tall, skinny glass)

Detailed explanation-4: -The Theory of Cognitive Development by Jean Piaget, the Swiss psychologist, suggests that children’s intelligence undergoes changes as they grow. Cognitive development in children is not only related to acquiring knowledge, children need to build or develop a mental model of their surrounding world (Miller, 2011).
