Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dual-career and dual-earner households are the common terms used to describe families in which both parents work. "Dual-career" refers to both parents having professional careers, while "dual-earner" indicates that both parents bring in income through employment. Choice B is incorrect because "share-career" and "share-earner" are not commonly used terms. Choice C is close, but "dual-worker" is not as commonly used as "dual-career" to describe both parents' professional pursuits. Choice D is incorrect because "share-earner" is not a common term used to describe families in which both parents work.
