Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The text mentions that living as an extended family can offer support and protection in a racialized society, which may be a reason why this particular family has chosen to live together. While passing on cultural traditions and ease of religious worship may also be factors in their decision, the text does not provide evidence to support these options. The mention of the grandparents caring for the younger children in their own home is not a definitive reason for choosing to live as an extended family.
