Answer:

1. B) Nuclear to extended

2. C) Insufficient income to provide for her children

3. C) Adolescent playing a part in family decision-making

4. D) Are responding to the changing roles of family members

5. D) Insufficient money for children's education

6. D) Generational conflict

7. A) Parental abandonment

8. D) I, II, and III

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The situation has changed Susan's family structure from a nuclear family (consisting of Susan, her husband, and their children) to an extended family (including Susan's parents, her brother, and his family).

2. Among the given options, the one that is least likely to have influenced Susan's decision to live with her relatives is insufficient income to provide for her children. The other options (cultural traditions and expectations, protection and care for her children, and the love and affection of her relatives) are more likely to have played a significant role in her decision.

3. The situation that represents a recent change in roles of family members is an adolescent playing a part in family decision-making. Traditionally, family decisions were mainly made by adults, particularly parents. In recent times, there has been a shift towards involving adolescents in family decision-making, recognizing their growing maturity and capacity to contribute.

4. More husbands are now performing household chores mainly because they are responding to the changing roles of family members. Traditional gender roles within households have been evolving, and husbands are increasingly sharing household responsibilities with their wives.

5. Among the given options, insufficient money for children's education is the least likely effect of drug abuse on family life by one or both parents. Drug abuse can have significant negative effects on family life, such as physical abuse of children, increased sibling rivalry, and emotional tension among family members.

6. The situation of adolescents challenging the views and attitudes of adults is often brought about by generational conflict. Adolescents are in the process of developing their own identities and often question the beliefs and values passed down from previous generations.

7. Parental abandonment is the most likely practice to account for the high incidence of street children in the Caribbean. Parental abandonment refers to situations where parents neglect or abandon their children, leading them to live on the streets.

8. For a group to be considered a formal group, it must possess all three characteristics:

I. Code of conduct - A set of rules or guidelines that members are expected to follow.

II. Specific objectives - Clear goals or purposes that the group aims to achieve.

III. Membership requirements - Defined criteria or qualifications for individuals to become members of the group.
