Answer 1

I would say the best option would be C. because it’s the most likely option. Realistically speaking, it’s much more likely for a teenage mother to receive the opposite effects mentioned in the other options.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Disruption of education for the mother.

Step-by-step explanation

Teen pregnancy is the name given to the occurrence of pregnancy between the age of 10 and 19. This phenomenon is usually caused by a lack of sexual education about contraceptive methods, lack of accessibility to these methods, cultural conditions, among others. Additionally, teen pregnancy has multiple negative effects for parents because in most cases teenagers do not have the maturity, emotional conditions or economic conditions to have a baby. One of the most common effects is that the mother and/or father education is disrupted because most adolescents need to start working to support the child, also, it is difficult for mothers to go back to school when they need to take care of the child. So, the correct answer is C. Disruption of education for the mother.
