Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would be option B, Fathers devote lesser time per week to childcare compared to mothers which makes them feel more concerned about their children.

Explanation:

In a research conducted at AVS corporation, the results shocked the members as they showed that fathers are more concerned or worried about neglecting their children than mothers.

One of the colleagues of Jake questioned the findings. Jake can support his finding by explaining him that because mothers are almost all the times connected with the children, there is no need for them to get worried about their children as they know that they spend time with them and don't ignore them. Whereas fathers are usually at jobs and cannot take out more time to spend with their children. So they are more worried about neglecting their children.
