Question

Which statement best summarizes family life in the united states today? population changes have lessened the importance of families in american life. family structures are changing, but families remain important to american life. rising marriage rates have made families a more important part of american life. a rise in divorce rates has reduced the importance of families in american life.

Answer 1

B) Family structures are changing, but families remain important to American life.

Answer 2

I believe the answer is: Family structures are changing, but families remain important to American life.

The main reason of the changing structures is the increase in divorce rate, and non-monogamous relationship. In the past, almost all children only have one father and one mother. In recent years, children could have more than 2 parents or even only one (in case of single parenthood)
