Question

Sociologists use a social structure framework to help define and study the different family forms in society. Consider this example:

Everardo is a high school student who lives with his mother, father and two siblings in a large condominium in downtown Chicago. He
has many aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, and three grandparents who live in nearby suburbs. Everardo and the family
members with whom he lives are considered a _ family, while his nearby relatives are referred to as his
family
A) procreation; orientation
B) procreation; nuclear
C) nuclear; extended
D) extended; nuclear

Answer 1

I’m assuming the answer is C. I’m not entirely sure what a “nuclear family” is but given the context and seeing that C is the only option with extended as the second option.

Answer 2

Option C ,nuclear; extended

Step-by-step explanation:

The very basic definition of a nuclear family is "A family which includes a couple (i.e mother and father) and their children"

While an extended family is the one which goes beyond the nuclear family and hence include relatives such as grandparents , uncle , aunts, nephew and niece.

Thus, in this case the family with which Everado lives in large condominium in downtown Chicago is a nuclear family and his nearby relatives are referred to as extended family.

Thus, option C is correct
