Answer to Question 1

D
According to Structural Family Theory, the optimal description of power is when parents assign responsibilities according to need and developmental level. Minuchin suggested that power has to do with the influence each family member has on the family. Accordingly, the parents would have equal power and as the children develop and mature they are giving additional power based on the situation. For example, in the parent's absence an older sibling would have the power to enforce family rules.

Answer to Question 2

C
