Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The option D refers to a family that reflects the changing nature of the American family, as it represents a non-traditional family structure that includes cohabitation and step-parenting. Both of these are becoming more common in the 21st century as society is moving towards more diverse and complex family structures. The option A is less likely to reflect the changing nature of the American family since it represents a single-person household, while option B is more representative of a friendship than a family. The option C may reflect the reality of migrant workers, but it does not represent a traditional concept of a family.
