8)Which family unit can have a grandfather as the head of the household?
A)Blended family
B)Foster Family
C)Nuclear Family
D)Single-Parent family
C) Nuclear Family
C) Nuclear Family
The family unit that can have a grandfather as the head of the household is the nuclear family.
Now, let's break down the options and explain how we can arrive at the correct answer:
A) Blended family: A blended family consists of a couple and their children from previous relationships or marriages. While a grandfather may be present in a blended family, he would typically not be the head of the household. The decision-making authority typically rests with the couple.
B) Foster Family: A foster family provides temporary care and support to children who are unable to live with their biological parents. In a foster family, the parents or guardians take on the role of the household head, not the grandparents.
C) Nuclear Family: A nuclear family typically consists of a married heterosexual couple and their biological or adopted children living together. In this family structure, the household is usually headed by the parents. However, there may be instances where the grandfather assumes the role of the head of the household, for example, if the parents are absent or incapable of fulfilling that role.
D) Single-Parent family: In a single-parent family, there is only one adult who takes on the responsibility of parenting and managing the household. This adult could be a mother or a father, but it is unlikely that a grandfather would assume this role.
Therefore, the correct answer is C) Nuclear Family.
