IV. Read the text and choose the correct answer.
      In many modern countries, people think of a family as a mother, a father and their children.
But this is not the only kind of the family group. In some parts of the world, a family group has
many other members. This kind of large family is called an “extended family” or a “joint
family”.

    The joint family includes all living relatives on either the mother’s or the father’s side of the
family. It is made up of grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and cousins.
They live together in a large house or in huts built close together.

    Early people probably lived in joint families. They had to be part of a large group to survive.
The members of the group helped each other hunt. They worked together to protect
themselves from dangerous animals and other enemies.

    In China, people live in joint families. When a son gets married, he and his wife live at his
parents’ home. Unmarried daughters remain at home until they get married. Chinese children
feel very loyal to their parents. Younger members of the joint families always take care of the
old ones.

    In India and Africa, some people still live in joint families. The members of a joint family
share their earnings and property. If one member of the group becomes ill or has a bad luck,
the others help the person. As in the past, the members of the joint family offer each other
help and protection.
