Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Marriage in the United States is usually based on romantic love that precedes the ceremony. Predictable social characteristics that have a high correlation of similarity between husband and wife include age, education, social class, religion, and race or ethnicity. People with similar characteristics tend to marry each other. A significant variable that adds to the prediction of marriage is propinquity, or the spatial nearness of couples. Long distance relationships are less successful than those in which the couple have easy access to one another. Marriages follow racial lines in 93 percent of the cases. Of interracial marriages, the ones with the sharpest increase in numbers are between African Americans and whites.
