Answer 1

Ted is portraying multiple masculinities.
He is exhibiting typical masculine characteristics, such as taking care of his family (consoling his sister and putting his child to sleep), and working as a construction worker. He is not only exhibiting one of these characteristics, but rather more of them, which is why this is referred to as multiple masculinities in psychology.
