Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The child's statement suggests that there are multiple generations residing in the same household, indicating an extended family structure. A binuclear family refers to when two parents who are no longer together share custody of their children but live in separate households. A traditional family typically consists of a father, mother, and their biological children. The child's statement does not indicate anything about the sexual orientation of the family members, so the option of gay or lesbian is not relevant.
