A family is a social group of people who stay together under the same roof in a society. It comprises two or more adults like parents and grandparents and young children who are bound in a relationship by birth or blood. They are collectively known as family members.

In this question the options are missing; here are the options:
What would a story written about this historical time most likely include?
A. A character receiving an order from General Washington to set the creek on fire.
B. Events resulting from a terrible snowstorm that occurred in February 1783.
C. A conflict between city people and country people being resolved.
D. General Washington's boyhood home in Virginia being described.
The answer to this question is A. A character receiving an order from General Washington to set the creek on fire.
Explanation:
The excerpt focuses on the idea General Washington wanted to set the creek on fire. This is explained in "the river or creek...might be set on fire...and as General Washington had a mind to try the experiment". In this context, if a story is created using this information or context, it is expected the story focuses on how the creek is set on fire. Moreover, it is expected General Washington is the one that leads this action and that he gives orders to others to complete it. According to this, the correct answer is the first option.

Explanation:
The letter above was written using cultured language and correct grammar when inviting a speaker to the university event.
All words were written in order to achieve the request made in the question above.
Along With and As Well As Do Not Form Plural Subjects
Beware of words that join but do not qualify as true conjunctions and thus do not form plural subjects. These words include as well as, along with, together with, not to mention, and others. Again, another example from New Fowler:
A very profitable company such as British Telecom, along with many other companies in the UK, is not prepared to pay a reasonable amount. New Fowler, p. 35.
Neither-Nor, Subject-Verb Agreement
The problem of subject-verb agreement also crops up when you use correlative conjunctions. When you use neither . . . nor to join two subjects of a clause, you will confront the problem of number. Must the verb appear in the singular or the plural? When neither . . . nor joins two singular subjects, the verb must be singular as well. Like this:
Neither the player nor the coach wants to lose the game.
