Read the passage and choose one correct answer for each question.

The nuclear family, consisting of mother, father, and their children may be more an American ideal than

American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we had

been led to believe reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among different

American groups.

The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American families fit the

traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none still

living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American households is single

people, usually women over sixty-five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists

of unmarried people who choose to live together, and the rest, about 7 percent, are single, usually divorced

parents, with at least one child.
