Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The student should indicate that the good-provider role emphasizes the husband as breadwinner. His role is just of economic provider. His household role is limited to maintenance and repairs or outside work such as yard work. The homemaker role emphasizes the wife as fulltime homemaker and child care provider. This role is fulfilling and demanding at the same time. It can be isolating. It is also rewarding in its autonomy. Often the homemaker does not receive support from society, as her role is not viewed as real work. The increase in stay-at-home mothers may have been spurred by 1. the economic boom of the late 1990s and early 21th century, which enabled more families to survive on one income; 2. the cultural influence of the growing Hispanic population in the U. S., which tends to favor traditional family models; and 3. the entry into parenthood of a generation of Americans who were raised as latchkey children and wanted to offer their own children closer parenting.
