Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
A rigid structure specifically dictates who is able to accomplish a task, and may limit the number of persons inside as well as outside the immediate family who can assume these tasks. Sharing tasks allows for reassignment of tasks when the need arises.
A rigid structure specifically dictates who is able to accomplish a task, and may limit the number of persons inside as well as outside the immediate family who can assume these tasks. Inability to reassign the tasks will impact the family's ability to adjust to stressors.
