Answer:

African Americans are most likely to be single during young adulthood.

Step-by-step explanation:

African Americans are less likely than those in other racial and ethnic groups to marry or cohabit in young adulthood. While white young adults are more likely than others to cohabit before marriage.

The research has shown that African Americans are less likely to marry in early adulthood than those in other racial and ethnic groups, this is due to a lot of reasons which can be attributed to employment status, income level, and the family background.

Throught the research, it was concluded that, 7 percent of African Americans had married by their early 20s, compared with 21 percent of whites and 19 percent of Hispanics or Latinos.
