Answer 1

The assertion that best contradicts the idea that parents should trust their children is:

D “... many parents consider the idea of their children desiring privacy from them as unsafe and risky.” (paragraph 2)

This statement indicates a lack of trust, as it suggests that parents view their children's need for privacy as something that poses a potential risk, implying caution rather than trust.
