Correct Response: B. Immigrants who experience an involuntary "push" to immigrate are less likely to view themselves as empowered by their new situation and more likely to experience difficulties in the acculturation process. These factors can have a significant effect on parental attitudes toward a new school and the new culture as a whole, which in turn can affect student attitudes and achievement. A is incorrect because it does not relate to sociocultural factors with respect to immigration status. C is incorrect because the scenario does not suggest that students' language varieties (e.g., dialect) are related to the issue of voluntary and involuntary immigration. D is incorrect because the scenario is not related to group motivation with respect to education but rather to motivation with respect to immigration.
