Analysis
It is the author's aim to convince the reader of the importance of his initial assumption. The paragraphs of the text either
support the assumption
indicate how the assumption has been endangered lately
give reasons for that danger.
Determine which paragraph serves which function.
5. Reading Statistics
Families
Which of the following statements are true and which are false? Correct the false ones.
There were about twice as many American families with three or more children in 1985 as there had been in 1970.
In 1985 almost twice as many children lived in female-headed households as
in 1970.
Between 1970 and 1985 the number of children living with two parents decreased.
Within those 15 years the number of American households grew in proportion to the increase in population.
One reason for more households is the decrease in family size.
Another reason for more households lies in the tendency of people to marry at a later age.
In 1982 fewer women than men were married between the age of 20 and 24.
The increase of households other than families is at least partly due to the fact that men and women marry later.
