Research on divorce indicates that

A) the United States has the highest divorce rate of any industrialized country.
B) people whose parents have been divorced are unlikely to divorce.
C) divorce rates continue to rise steeply.
D) women who work outside the home are no more likely to divorce than are homemakers.

Multiple studies have indicated that the United States has the highest divorce rate amongst industrialized countries.

Answer: B
There is evidence to suggest that children of divorced parents may be more likely to divorce themselves. However, this is not an absolute predictor and other factors also play a role in determining divorce risk.

Answer: C
This statement is false. Overall, divorce rates in the United States have been declining since the 1980s.

Answer: D
Studies have found that women who work outside the home may actually have a lower risk of divorce than women who are homemakers. Factors such as income, education, and attitudes towards gender roles also play a role in divorce risk.
