Question

which explains one reason that children of older parents are better prepared for school?
○ older parents value education more.
○ older parents do their children’s work more often.
○ older parents are more intelligent.
○ older parents are more likely to send their children to preschool.

Explanation:

• Option "Older parents do their children’s work more often" is incorrect as doing children's work doesn't prepare children for school but hinders their learning.
• Option "Older parents are more intelligent" is not a valid or proven reason for children being better prepared for school.
• Option "Older parents are more likely to send their children to preschool" - While preschool can help, the more fundamental reason related to parental attitude towards education is stronger. Older parents, due to their life experience, often value education more, which translates into better preparation (like encouraging learning, providing resources, etc.) for their children's school life. So "Older parents value education more" is a more plausible reason.

Answer:

A. Older parents value education more.
