MCQ practice · SSC Bangladesh and Global Studies Board questions · Chapter 13: The Family Structure of Bangladesh and Socialization
What type of family is it when three generations, grandfather, father and grandson, live together with their wives, brothers and children?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a Polygyny family
- b Nuclear family
- c Joint family
- d Extended family
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: d Extended family
The book says a family with a three-generation bond, with members of several generations together, is the extended family.
Why the other options are wrong
- a Polygyny family: The polygyny family is by number of wives; the question gives the number of generations.
- b Nuclear family: The nuclear family is confined to two generations; here there are three.
- c Joint family: The joint family is defined by a married son and children under authority; three generations with brothers and relatives together is the extended type.
