Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Even though your roommate's mother remarried quickly, the divorce of her parents is likely to have had a significant impact on her. Research suggests that children of divorced parents are more likely to experience emotional and behavioral problems, academic difficulties, and lower self-esteem compared to children whose parents remain married. While having a step-parent can provide emotional support and stability, it does not necessarily erase the negative effects of the parents' divorce. Therefore, C is the best choice.
