Explanation:

• Question 8: A baby lacks the cognitive and language skills to intervene in an argument by saying soothing words. Adults and teenagers have developed communication abilities to do so.
• Question 9: A swim meet requires an open - water or pool environment for swimming competitions. A submarine is a closed underwater vessel, so a swim meet is least likely to occur there. Conversations and eating can happen in a submarine.
• Question 10: Winning a great prize is typically associated with positive emotions. Joy is a positive emotion, while sadness and anger are negative.
• Question 11: A sick turtle is likely to have reduced energy and movement due to illness. A healthy horse is active, and a squirrel collecting nuts is also engaged in an active behavior.
• Question 12: Twins often share similar upbringings, genetics, and experiences, which can lead to more concurrence in opinions and behaviors compared to a cat and mouse (predator - prey relationship) or a horse and cow (different species with different behaviors).

1. a baby
