    If a woman marries two men, it would be an example of:

    • Polyandry

    • Cohabitation

    Correct Answer
    A. Polyandry
    Explanation
    Polyandry refers to the practice of a woman having multiple husbands simultaneously. In this scenario, the woman is marrying two men, which aligns with the definition of polyandry. Monogamy refers to the practice of having only one spouse at a time, while polygyny refers to a man having multiple wives, and cohabitation refers to living together without being married. Therefore, the correct answer is polyandry.

    • No-parent households

    Correct Answer
    A. Two-parent households
    Explanation
    The correct answer is two-parent households. This means that most American children live with both of their parents. This can be seen as a traditional family structure where both parents are present in the household. It implies that the parents are married or living together and share the responsibility of raising their children.

    Which is true of intimate partner violence (IPV)?

    • Men are mostly IPV victims.

    • Nine in ten women is a victim of IPV.

    • Nearly half of instances of IPV involve drugs or alcohol.

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Nearly half of instances of IPV involve drugs or alcohol.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Nearly half of instances of IPV involve drugs or alcohol." This answer is supported by research and studies that have consistently found a strong link between substance abuse and intimate partner violence. Substance abuse can impair judgment, increase aggression, and lower inhibitions, leading to an increased likelihood of violent behavior in relationships. While it is important to acknowledge that both men and women can be victims of IPV, the question specifically asks about the involvement of drugs or alcohol, making this answer the most accurate.

It can have severe and long-lasting effects on a child's physical, emotional, and cognitive development.

This form of abuse often goes unnoticed or unreported, making it a significant concern in child welfare.

    • Far more likely than

    • Far less likely than

    • Slightly less likely than

    • Equally as likely as

    Correct Answer
    A. Slightly less likely than
    Explanation
    Couples who have been in a relationship before marriage are slightly less likely than couples who haven't been in a relationship before marriage to hold a marriage for at least 10 years. This suggests that couples who have had prior relationship experience may have a slightly higher chance of facing challenges or difficulties in their marriage compared to couples who haven't had such experience. However, the difference in likelihood is not significant, indicating that the impact of prior relationship experience on the longevity of a marriage is relatively small.

    Correct Answer
    A. Steadily declining
    Explanation
    The given correct answer suggests that the current divorce rates are steadily declining. This means that the number of divorces is decreasing over time. This could be due to various factors such as improved communication and conflict resolution skills, increased access to marriage counseling, changing societal attitudes towards divorce, and a greater emphasis on the importance of maintaining long-term relationships. The declining divorce rates indicate a positive trend towards more stable marriages and relationships.
