Answer to Question 1

Answer:
 Dependent children have committed no legal offense but may be without a family (parent or guardian) or without support, possibly because the parent is physically or mentally unable to act in that capacity.
 Neglected children have a family or guardian but are not receiving proper care, or the situation in the home is harmful to them and their upbringing.
 Delinquent children have committed an act that would be considered criminal if committed by an adult. In many jurisdictions, a fourth category is status offenders, children who have committed acts that are law violations only if committed by a person of juvenile status.

Answer to Question 2

Answers: 1) C 2) D 3) B 4) A
