Which example demonstrates sorting first by color and then regrouping by a second characteristic?

• A. Identifies fabric as scratchy or soft.
• B. Says, 'These buttons are blue, and these are red; then re-sorts buttons into big and little.'
• C. Puts red beads with blue beads in the same group.
• D. Puts pictures into babies vs grown ups.

Answer: (B)

This question tests two-step sorting: first by one attribute (color) and then regrouping within those color groups by a second attribute.

The best example is the one that starts by labeling items as blue or red, then re-sorts those groups into big and little. That shows a first pass by color followed by a second pass by size, exactly two levels of sorting.

The other options don’t show this two-pass approach. One focuses on texture rather than color, another groups different colors together in the same group, and another categorizes by a different attribute without first separating by color.
