How many words does a child learn to speak at the age of 2, according to Prof. Smith?
A
150 words
B
372 words
C
172 words
D
272 words
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Speak about 50 to 100 words. Be understood at least half the time by adults who don’t know the child.

Detailed explanation-2: -"They should really be learning a new word a day or two or three words a day, ” around this time, Boerner says. Learning at that rate should give your toddler between 900 and 1000 words by the time they turn 3.

Detailed explanation-3: -Speech-language pathologists often state a child should be saying 10 words by 15 months, 50 words by 18 months, and 200-300 words by 24 months!

Detailed explanation-4: -Between 18 and 21 months, children seem eager to imitate the words they hear around them. A typical 20-month-old has a spoken vocabulary of about 12-15 words, though many children have far more. But even if your child isn’t talking in simple sentences yet, she likely understands many more words than she can say.
