Read the text and choose the best answer:
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.
