in-home child care providers would no longer voluntarily comply with standards

And your answer iw?

I agree.

thank you

You're welcome.

what is the answer?

To determine the correct answer, we need to carefully read the given options and identify which one explains why stricter standards may put some children at higher risk in early childhood settings.

Option 1 states that implementing more rigorous safety standards tends to increase the cost of care. While this may be a valid concern, it doesn't directly explain why some children may be at higher risk.

Option 2 suggests that children engage in more risky behaviors in response to rigorous safety standards. This is a possible reason as children might become curious or find loopholes when rules become stricter, potentially putting themselves at higher risk. However, this option doesn't address the impact on their health and safety directly.

Option 3 claims that teachers would have to spend too much time implementing more rigorous standards. While this could be an issue and may affect the quality of care provided, it doesn't specifically explain how it puts children at higher risk.

Option 4 suggests that in-home child care providers would no longer voluntarily comply with standards. This option directly puts children at higher risk because if childcare providers no longer comply with safety standards voluntarily, there would be no guarantee of a safe environment for the children in their care.

Therefore, the correct answer is (4) in-home child care providers would no longer voluntarily comply with standards.
