Men's greater involvement at home is good for their relationships with their spouses, and also good for their children.

Today, life expectancy is 76 years, and by 2025, it is estimated about 20 per cent of the U.S. population will be 65 or older.

A. They will still be high.

B. They can cause problems for both parents and children.

C. More problems are caused by children from divorced families.

D. Children are encouraged to meet their separate parents.

Question 24. The word "manageable” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
