Question 9 • EAP-Virginia and US History B CR

Which phrases best summarize the US population in the twenty-first century?

Answer
A
older, less culturally diverse, a bigger income gap between classes
B
older, more culturally diverse, traditional family makeup and structure
C
older, more culturally diverse, a bigger income gap between classes
D
older, less culturally diverse, changing family makeup and structure

Explanation

The U.S. population has been getting older as life expectancy rises and the large baby-boom generation ages. It has also become more culturally diverse, with growing racial and ethnic diversity. Income inequality has widened, creating a bigger gap between higher- and lower-income groups. Thus, “older, more culturally diverse, a bigger income gap between classes” is the best summary.
