II. Read the passage and choose the best option for each question or statement. (1.0 pt)
The difference between the nuclear family and the extended family is that a nuclear family refers to a single basic family unit of parents and their children, living together in a single house or other dwellings; whereas the extended family refers to their relatives such as grandparents, in-laws, aunts and uncles, etc. In many cultures like in historical Europe and Asia as well as in Middle Eastern, African, and South American Aboriginal cultures, the latter is typically the most common basic form of social organization.
Historically, most people in the world have lived in extended family groupings rather than in nuclear families. This was even true in Europe and in the early United States, where multiple generations often lived together for economic reasons.
During the 20th century, average income rose high enough that living apart as nuclear families became a possible option for the vast majority of the American population. In contrast, many indigenous societies and residents of developing countries continue to have multiple generations living in the same household. The rise of the nuclear family in the modern West does not necessarily mean that family arrangements have stabilized, either. The rapid growth in single-parent households, for instance, also represents a substantial change in the traditional nuclear family. More couples are also choosing not to have children at all.
