Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The emotional aspects of divorce, such as anxiety, depression, guilt, and possibly aggression affect the children's ability to concentrate in school, negatively affecting their ability to meet scholastic expectations (Dacey & Travers, 2002). This emotional toll may also affect children's ability to interact socially with teachers and peers.
