Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the question from 20 to 24.
The “typical” family unit in the U.S in 1950s, where a husband goes off to work while the wife is the homemaker, was favored as the most efficient family structure. Now, not only have the times changed, but the family norm has changed as well. A new study suggests that there is no such thing as a typical family anymore. Instead, the new norm is a diverse family structure.
“Traditional” family structures can no longer exist because more women have entered the workforce since the 50s. Women were traditionally expected to take care of the children and the house and have dinner ready when their bread-winning husband returned home from work. Today, women attend college and enter the workforce and can independently take care
of themselves and their families. In 2010, 37 percent of women received a bachelor’s degree or more compared to 35 percent of men. Many families also need dual-incomes in order to provide for the children.
