B) Andrew is right because acculturation, particularly in low-income neighborhoods, may result in lowering the rates of delinquency and crime among Latino adolescents.
C) Matt is wrong because there has been a reduction in the divorce rates among married couples in Latin American families who have acculturated to U.S.society.
D) Matt is wrong because middle-class Latinos who have acculturated to U.S.society tend to be less permissive in raising their children, thereby instilling a sense of discipline among their youth.
