By the age of 24 months, children who are typically developing are most likely to produce which of the following utterances?

The correct answer reflects the typical linguistic development milestones that children reach by 24 months of age. At this stage, children are often able to produce two-word phrases that convey simple concepts or ideas, which is a common developmental milestone for toddlers. “Dog bowl” is a noun-noun combination that shows the child's ability to label objects in their environment.

Typically, by 24 months, children are not yet forming complete sentences or more complex utterances but are beginning to express meaning through simple phrases and two-word combinations. While options like “I’m eating” or “It’s on the table” demonstrate more advanced sentence structures, they are not typical for children at this developmental stage. Instead, phrases consisting of two related nouns or noun phrases, such as “Dog bowl,” align with the expected language output of a child around two years old.
