Explanation:

• Children generally become better at telling the difference between moral and conventional transgressions as they age: This is true. As children grow, their cognitive and social - emotional development helps them better distinguish between moral (e.g., harm - based) and conventional (e.g., rule - based in a specific context like classroom rules) transgressions.
• Children commonly use internal standards to reason about behavior at an early age: Young children start to develop some internal moral reasoning. For example, they may feel bad if they accidentally hurt a playmate, showing an early form of internal moral evaluation.
• What is determined as right or wrong is universally defined and agreed upon: Different cultures, societies, and even individuals within a society can have different views on what is right or wrong. For example, in some cultures, collectivist values (putting the group first) are highly emphasized in moral decisions, while in individualistic cultures, personal rights may be more prominent.
• Parental views on what is right and wrong greatly influence children's moral reasoning: Parents are one of the primary socializing agents. Children often internalize their parents' moral teachings, at least initially, as they learn about right and wrong.

Answer:

What is determined as right or wrong is universally defined and agreed upon.
