The statement: 'An important precondition for the proper development of a child is ensuring her/his healthy physical development' 

• maybe incorrect as development varies from individual to individual
  
  

• is true because physical development occupies the topmost place in the sequence of development
  
  

• is true because physical development is interrelated with other domains of development

Helping learners recapitulate or recall what they have already learnt is important because

• relating new information to prior knowledge enhances learning
  
  

• it is an effective way of revising old lessons
  
  

• it enhances the memory of learners thereby strengthening learning
  
  

• it is a convenient beginning for any classroom instruction
