Which statement about divorce rates is correct?
a. The divorce rate is increasing.
b. The divorce rate is decreasing.
c. The divorce rate is difficult to measure due to the increase in cohabitation.
d. The divorce rate has leveled off and re-mains relatively constant.
ANS: D
The rapidly escalating divorce rate of families found in the 1970s and 1980s has leveled off and remained relatively constant since 1990 with subsequently about 43% and 46% of marriages that ended in divorce. As cohabitation has become more acceptable, less divorced people are getting remarried, but this does not make the divorce rate more difficult to measure.
