Read the passage carefully and then choose the item A, B, C or D that best answers the

question about the passage:

The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father and their children, may be more an

American ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American

family was always more varied than we has 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 are single people, usually women

over sixty – five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consist of

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

usually divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are

typical, and therefore, normal. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive

relationship in family forms other than the traditional one.
