Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cassie is well established in her career, which suggests that she has had time to accumulate more income and resources than a younger mother who is just starting out in her career. Therefore, she is likely to have more disposable income for child-rearing expenses than a younger mother would have. While it is possible that Cassie may have fewer plans and expectations than a younger mother (A), there is no evidence to suggest that this is true. Similarly, while older mothers may be at higher risk for certain medical complications during pregnancy and delivery (B), this is not always the case and there is no information given about Cassie's specific health status. Finally, there is no reason to believe that Cassie is more likely to be divorced or end up being a single parent simply because she waited until later in life to have children (D).
