Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The author explains the "destructive stage" as stemming from a child’s recent experience with sudden falls when they were learning to stand. The child, who has learned to make a tower stand, enjoys causing the tower to collapse because it mirrors the active mastery over a previous passive experience (the fall). This action gives the child a sense of strength and control.

Solution
A lorry travels 10km northwards, 4km eastwards, 6km southwards, 4km westwards to arrive at a point T. What is the total displacement?
A
6km south
B
4km north
C
6km north
D
4km east
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Resultant Vertical movement of lorry = 10 - 6 = 4km
Resultant horizontal movement of lorry = 4 - 4 = 0km
Therefore, the total displacement is 4 km north because the final position is directly above the starting point on the y-axis, with no displacement in the x-direction.
