In West marriage appears to be in decline because________________?
Correct answer: B. many people are cohabiting in long term relationships
- A. the proportion of people living alone has fallen to 29%
- B. many people are cohabiting in long term relationships
- C. the upward curve of remarriages compensates for the drop in first marriages
- D. all of the above
Explanation
Marriage rates may decline partly because many couples now form long-term cohabiting relationships without marrying, making cohabitation a substitute for marriage in some cases. Option a states a fall in living alone, which would not explain marriage decline, and therefore makes ‘all of the above’ incorrect.
