Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children who are obedient, self-controlled, emotionally apprehensive, and lacking in curiosity are likely to have been raised by authoritarian parents who are strict, demanding, and often use harsh punishments to enforce obedience. Permissive parents are too lenient and lack boundaries, while authoritative parents are warm, responsive, and set clear expectations while also allowing for autonomy and independence. The answer cannot be A because being raised by a single parent does not determine the parenting style, and D is not a good choice because children raised by authoritative parents tend to be curious and self-directed learners.
