I.1: Read the following Passage and then choose the correct answer. Marks- 3 (6x.5)
Changing Families
A Families in almost every country are changing. This is true in rich countries and poor ones. It is true in Africa. The Americas, Asia, and Europe. All over the world, families are
getting smaller .
B In North Africa, in the past, many people lived in extended families. Fifty to a hundred people lived together in a group of houses. These were all family members- grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, children, and grandchildren. But now this
traditional family is breaking into smaller groups .
C The traditional family in Mexico was also big. One generation ago, the average Mexican woman had seven children. Today, she has an average of only 2,5 children. Now without so many
children, families don’t need to spend so much money on basics, such as food, clothing, and housing.
D The traditional Japanese family was also an extended family- a son, his parents, his wife, his children, and his unmarried
brothers and sisters. Three generations lived together. But this tradition is changing. Now most families are nuclear families- parents and their children- most Japanese parents have only one or two children. These families have new problems. Many men and women spend a lot of time at work. They don’t spend much time together as a family. This can be very difficult.
E The world is changing, and families are changing, too. There are many new types of families, but most seem to be getting
smaller
