Ross · Answer 1

Answer: C. Judith, who will be with her grandson.

Explanation:

Extended family is a family unit that goes beyond the nuclear family (parents and children). It includes grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other relatives. While nuclear family is considered as the ''core'' of the family in most of the countries, our cousins and relatives are our extended family. For example, if a husband, his wife, his children and his parents all live under the same roof, this is considered as an extended family. Judith is, in this case, the only one who will be with her extended family (her grandson), as opposed to Daniella, who is spending time with her immediate (nuclear) family, and Carla and Tessa, who are not spending the day with their families at all.
