Michael’s father has been incarcerated for the past seven years and his mother has been working three jobs to keep the family’s situation stable. When Michael begins acting out in the seventh grade, he is referred to you for counseling. What could most likely be said about Michael’s support network?
  1. It may exist, but in very limited capacity; he must provide much for himself
  2. It is nonexistent and without it, he will not survive
  3. The support network needs to work harder in order to provide for him
  4. It has little hope unless Michael’s mom remarries
Explanation
Answer - A - We couldn’t call the support system nonexistent, since mom works three jobs. Along those same lines, I don’t think that we could honestly say that with three jobs she isn’t working hard enough; she is. And the last option only takes away the power from Michael’s mom. Therefore, Michael must provide a lot for himself right now.
