  • B.are similar to relationships with parents and peers and play an important role in socialization throughout childhood.
  • C.play an important role only during early childhood.
  • D.do not have much role in socialization.

Answer: A

Sibling relationships are different than relationships with parents and peers and play an important role in socialization throughout childhood.

Siblings are neither authority figures like parents nor equals chosen freely like friends. The relationship mixes rivalry and companionship, care and conflict, and it lasts. Through it children learn to share, negotiate, resolve conflict and understand others' feelings, and older siblings often act as teachers and models, so its influence runs through childhood and beyond.

Calling the relationship 'similar' to those with parents and peers misses what is distinctive about it, and the claims that it matters only in early childhood, or hardly at all, understate a well-documented influence.
