I cannot find anything in my book about this or on the web. I am torn between B and E....any hints would be great. Thanks

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. There seems to be a trend toward more family activities. All of the above might do it, but when the economy is not doing well, especially if people already have the equipment necessary, they tend to use leisure time in less-expensive activities/vacations. D looks attractive these days!
