Nuclear family, also called elementary family, in sociology and anthropology, is a group of people who
are united by ties of partnership and parenthood and consisting of a pair of adults and their socially
recognized children. Typically, but not always, the adults in a nuclear family are married. Although such
couples are most often a man and a woman, the definition of the nuclear family has expanded with the
advent of same-sex marriage. Children in a nuclear family may be the couple’s biological or adopted
offspring.
Thus defined, the nuclear family was once widely held to be the most basic and universal form of
social organization. Anthropological research, however, has illuminated so much variability of this form
that it is safer to assume that what is universal is a “nuclear family complex” in which the roles of
husband, wife, mother, father, son, daughter, brother, and sister are embodied by people whose biological
relationships do not necessarily conform to the Western definitions of these terms. In matrilineal societies,
for example, a child may be the responsibility not of his biological genitor but of his mother’s brother,
who fulfills the roles typical of Western fatherhood.
Closely related in form to the predominant nuclear-family unit are the conjugal family and the
consanguineal family. As its name implies, the conjugal family is knit together primarily by the marriage
tie and consists of mother, father, their children, and some close relatives. The consanguineal family, on
the other hand, typically groups itself around a unlineal descent group known as a lineage, a form that
reckons kinship through either the father’s or the mother’s line but not both. Whether a culture is
patrilineal or matrilineal, a consanguineal family comprises lineage relatives and consists of parents, their
children, and their children’s children. Rules regarding lineage exogamy are common in these groups;
within a given community, marriages thus create cross-cutting social and political ties between lineages.
The stability of the conjugal family depends on the quality of the marriage of the husband and wife, a
relationship that is more emphasized in the kinds of industrialized, highly mobile societies that frequently
demand that people reside away from their kin groups. The consanguineal family derives its stability from
its corporate nature and its permanence, as its relationships emphasize the perpetuation of the line.

answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
Anthropogenic global warming is a theory explaining today's long-term increase in the average temperature
of Earth's atmosphere as an effect of human industry and agriculture.
Since the latter half of the 20th century, growing banks of data and improved climate models have
convinced most climate scientists that rising trends in greenhouse gas emissions are directly responsible for
a rising trend in atmospheric temperature. The source of these emissions varies, consisting of a mix of gases
that include methane and carbon dioxide. While some sources - such as volcanoes - are natural, their overall
emissions compared with those produced by human industries, transport, and livestock have been regarded
as insignificant over recent centuries.
Greenhouse gases are made of molecules that absorb electromagnetic radiation, such as the light
reflecting from the planet's surface, and re-emit it as heat. These gases include methane, carbon dioxide,
water, and nitrous oxide. Despite making up only a small percentage of the atmosphere's mix of gases they
are very important. If we had no naturally occurring greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at all, the average
global temperature on Earth would be a much lower -18 degrees instead of the roughly 15 degrees Celsius
we have enjoyed most of human history.
Carbon dioxide levels have steadily risen over the past two centuries, thanks largely to the burning of
fossil fuels for electricity general, transportation, and smelting. Current levels are approximately 415 parts
per million (ppm), up from pre-industrial levels of around 280 ppm. Models vary in their predictions of
further temperature increases, and depend heavily on future trends in greenhouse gas emissions.
Conservative estimates by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predict an even chance of 4
degrees Celsius rise by the end of the century if current emissions trends continue.
