A mаn fed а lоst cаt and returned it tо its оwner. She was so happy to see her cat that she promised to leave the man money in her will. When the cat owner died a few days later, the man visited the owner's daughter demanding his share of the estate. All of the cat owner's bank accounts had been held in joint tenancy with her daughter. The daughter reluctantly signed a document stating that she would pay the man $ 500 in exchange for his agreement not to sue her mother's estate. She later had second thoughts and refused to pay the man on the ground that there was no consideration for the agreement.

Use the infоrmаtiоn belоw to аnswer the question thаt follows. A prekindergarten teacher reads aloud the story Big Al by Andrew Clements and wants to extend the vocabulary from the book into phonological awareness activities. The teacher plans activities to address different skills along the phonological awareness continuum. Some of the activities are described below but are not necessarily listed in developmental sequence. • Repeating and counting words in sentences from the book: Children repeat a sentence and then count the words. • Syllable deletion: Children delete a part of a compound word from the story (e.g., "Say fisherman without man" ["fisher"]). • Initial sound deletion: Children delete the initial sound of a word from the story (e.g., "Say sad. Take off /s/. What is left?" ["ad"]). • Onset and rime: Children blend the initial consonant(s) of a word with the part of a word that contains the vowel after the teacher says the two parts in a segmented fashion (e.g., "Listen to this slow way I can say a word. Guess my word and say it fast: [ /b/, [ump] ]." ["bump"]) • Counting the syllables of selected vocabulary words from the book (e.g., clumsy [2], sharp [1], entangled [3]). A few children in the class are more advanced in their phonological awareness skills. On a recent assessment, they were able to do the onset/rime activity consistently. Which of following activities identified by the teacher would present an appropriate level of challenge to the students?
