Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice is passive because the parents' academic abilities are not directly influencing the children's success, but rather indirectly through providing an environment that is supportive of academic pursuits. The other choices don't quite fit because the parents are not actively or immediately shaping their children's academic success, nor is their influence necessarily arousing a response (evocative).
