<i><b>to each of the questions from 51 to 60.</b></i>
<i>In the first half of the nineteenth century, the U.S government decided that it needed to set up a system for protecting</i>
<i>its coastline. It then began building a series of forts along the coast of the eastern part of the country to facilitate its</i>
<i>defenses.</i>
<i>of its location at the entrance to the great body of water, it became known as the Gibraltar of the Gulf. In reference to the</i>
<i>island located at the mouth of the Mediterranean. The fort itself was a massive structure. It was <b>hexagonal</b> in shape, with</i>
<i>8-foot-thick walls, and was surrounded by a medieval-style moat for added security. Covering most of the Garden Key, <b>it </b></i>
<i>was approximately half a mile in circumference.</i>
<i>In the latter half of the nineteenth century, during the Civil War and its aftermath, the fort was used as a prison rather</i>
<i>than a military installation. The most notorious of its prisoners was Dr. Samuel Mudd, a physician who was most probably</i>
<i>innocently involved in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The actual assassin, John Wilkes Booth, broke his leg as he</i>
<i>Continuous use of Fort Jefferson ended in the 1870s, although the U.S. Navy continued with sporadic use of it into</i>
<i>the twentieth century. Today, the massive ruins still remain on the tiny island that stands guard over the entrance to the</i>
<i>gulf, undisturbed except for the occasional sightseer who ventures out from the coast to visit.</i>

<i>today the diversity is even more obvious.</i>
<i>The most recent government statistics <b>reveal </b>that only about one third of all current American families fit the</i>
<i>traditional mold of two parents and their children, and another third consists of married couples who either have no</i>
<i>children or have <b>none </b>still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American</i>
<i>households are single people, usually women over sixty-five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the</i>
<i>total, consists of unmarried people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent, are single parents, with at</i>
<i>least one child.</i>
<i>There are several reasons for the growing number of single-parent households. First, the number of births to</i>
<i>unmarried women has increased dramatically. In addition, a <b>substantial </b>number of adults become single parents as a</i>
<i>result of divorce. Finally, a small percentage of deaths result in single-parent families. Today, these varied family types are</i>
<i>typical, and therefore, normal.</i>
<i>In addition, close friends have become a more important part of family life than ever before. The vast majority of</i>
<i>Americans claim that they have people in their lives <b>whom </b>they regard as family although they are not related. A view of</i>
<i>family that only accepts the traditional nuclear arrangement not only ignores the reality of modern American family life, but</i>
<i>also undervalues the familiar bonds created in alternative family arrangements. Apparently, many Americans are</i>
<i>achieving supportive relationships in family forms other than the traditional one.</i>
