The writer is considering deleting the following clause from the preceding sentence (revising the capitalization accordingly):
As the toddler learns the names of objects, people, and actions, Should this clause be kept or deleted?
F. Kept, because it clarifies for the readers that toddlers can only learn to speak if they are given commands.
G. Kept, because it makes the connection between understanding what others are saying and learning how to speak.
H. Deleted, because it contradicts the essay’s main point by implying that toddlers cannot communicate effectively with their parents. 

J. Deleted, because it misleads the readers into thinking that the paragraph is about baby names rather than language development.
