Question

which is a social benefit of waiting to become a parent?
○ more likely to have a social life that includes other parents
○ more likely to rely on parents and friends for social support
○ less likely to enjoy social activities that require going out
○ more likely to be independent and need less social contact with friends

Explanation:

To determine the social benefit of waiting to become a parent, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Waiting to be a parent doesn't mean one is more likely to have a social life with other parents (as not being a parent yet, the social circle with other parents may not be a focus).
• Option 2: Waiting to be a parent would likely make one less reliant on parents/friends for support as they have more time to establish independence before parenting responsibilities. This is a social benefit as it shows increased self - sufficiency in terms of social support.
• Option 3: Waiting to be a parent should not make one less likely to enjoy social activities that require going out; in fact, they may have more time for such activities.
• Option 4: Waiting to be a parent doesn't mean one is more likely to be independent and need less social contact with friends. Independence in this context (from friends) is not a typical social benefit of waiting to parent, and wanting less social contact with friends is not a positive social outcome.

Answer:

B. less likely to rely on parents and friends for social support
