Question

Jason Michael · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Research has shown that positive relationships with grandparents can lead to positive adjustment and fewer problem behaviors in adolescence. While relationships with grandparents can also have other benefits, such as educational attainment, involvement in extracurricular activities, and positive peer relationships, there is not enough information in the scenario to determine if Morgan will experience these specific benefits.
