When Jared was born, his father Rob had many reasons for believing Jared was going to be a great soccer player. First, Jared kicked his legs often right after birth. Second, Rob and all of his brothers had played soccer in college. Rob supported his belief by buying Jared a soccer ball and showing him how to kick it when he was just learning to walk. At age 4, Jared led his peewee soccer team in goals and was the fastest one down the field. Which concept is MOST prevalent in Rob's beliefs about his son's soccer skills?

d)

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that in this situation nature and nurture are both influential in this situation. This is because Rob believed that his son was going to be great due to abilities inherited from his family, but at the same time Rob continuously nurtured his son towards a life of playing soccer which greatly influenced his abilities.

what are the answer choices?

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
