A grandparent with limited involvement is described as which term?

• A. Involved great-grandparents
• B. Companionate great-grandparents
• C. Hospice
• D. Remote great-grandparents

Answer: (D)

The idea here is to categorize grandparent roles by how involved they are with their grandchildren. A grandparent described as remote is one who has limited contact and little day-to-day involvement—often due to distance, health, or other constraints. They’re not regularly helping with caregiving or activities, and interactions are infrequent.

This term fits best because it directly captures the scenario of limited involvement. The other options describe more active or different kinds of roles—involved would mean frequent engagement; companionate implies a warm, emotionally close relationship with some regular interaction; hospice refers to end-of-life care, not a grandparent involvement level.

So, remote great-grandparents describes someone who is distant or minimally involved, which aligns with the described scenario.
