Question

In the 1980s and 1990s, divorce rates: a. continued to soar. b. returned to their pre-1940 rates. c. peaked and then declined. d. reflected more liberal, unrealistic attitudes toward marriage.

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter C

Explanation: The divorce rate peaked in the 1970s and early 1980s and has been declining for the three decades since. About 70 percent of marriages that began in the 1990s reached their 15th anniversary (excluding those in which a spouse died), up from about 65 percent of those that began in the 1970s and 1980s.
