6-10. Read the following passage, choose the correct answer for each question by choosing A,B, C, or D.
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 had been led to
believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among 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, about 20 percent of the total number of American households are single people, usually women over sixty-five
years old. 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. Today, these varied family
types are typical, and therefore, normal. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationships in family
forms other than the traditional one.

A. The traditional American family. B. The nuclear family.
