Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Essentially, scaffolding is the help/support that takes place in the zone of proximal development. As the child begins to learn and master the skill, the support provided by the teacher decreases until eventually the child can begin to do the task on their own.

Detailed explanation-3: -The zone of proximal development is best described as: Where interrelated sets of actions, memories, thoughts or strategies may be employed to predict and understand the environment.

Detailed explanation-4: -The zone of proximal development refers to the difference between what a learner can do without help and what he or she can achieve with guidance and encouragement from a skilled partner.
