• Writing full sentences
• Pouring liquids without spilling
• Catching a bounced ball reliably
• Hopping on one foot

  The correct answer is: Writing full sentences   Explanation: A typical 4-year-old child achieves the following motor milestones:

• Gross motor skills:
  • Hops on one foot (2–4 times).
  • Catches a bounced ball most of the time.
• Fine motor skills:
  • Pours liquid with minimal spilling.
  • Copies simple shapes (e.g., circle, cross).
  • Writes some letters or numbers (but not full sentences).

Why Not the Others?

• Pouring liquids without spilling: Achieved by age 4–5 (with practice).
• Catching a bounced ball: Expected by age 4.
• Hopping on one foot: Typically mastered by age 4.

Key Insight: Writing full sentences requires advanced fine motor and cognitive skills, typically emerging around age 6–7. At age 4, children may write their name or a few letters, but not complex sentences. Thus, writing full sentences is not expected at this age.
