Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "marriage squeeze" specifically refers to the sex imbalance in the ratio of available unmarried women and men, which can create competition among women for fewer eligible partners. The other options, while related to marriage patterns, do not specifically refer to this phenomenon. The marriage opportunity index is a measure of the likelihood of finding a compatible partner, while the sex ratio refers to the overall balance of men and women in a society. The selection disposition is not a recognized sociological term.
