3. Gay and lesbian family.
4. Traditional nuclear family.

Rationale:
1. A binuclear family includes divorced parents who have joint custody of their biological children; the children alternate spending varying amounts of time in the home of each parent.
2. An extended family contains a parent or a couple who share the house with their children and another adult relative.
3. A gay or lesbian family is comprised of two same-sex domestic partners; they might or might not have children.
4. The traditional nuclear family consists of an employed provider parent, a homemaking parent, and the biological children of this union.
