Answer to Question 1

ANS: E
Traits of a healthy family include open communication, ability to establish priorities, being supportive of each other, sharing a religious core, having a sense of humor, and knowing when to seek help. However, healthy families also engage in decision making and do not want others to make decisions for them.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Today, as in the past, when a relationship ends in divorce or separation, more women than men have the responsibility of providing for themselves and their children. Differences today include that many women are delaying marriage and many are not marrying. Single-parent adoptions are legal; single women, including lesbians, are becoming adoptive parents.
