Explanation:

• Question 9: A family of procreation is formed when a person marries and has children. A nuclear family is a family unit consisting of parents and their children. So, the statement is True.
• Question 10: A nuclear family consists of parents and their children. An extended family includes grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. So, the statement is False. The correct term is "extended family".
• Question 11: Kinship systems can have a large number of relative categories. Some kinship systems have close to 200 possible categories of relatives. So, the statement is True.
• Question 12: A family of orientation is the nuclear family into which a person is born or adopted. A family of procreation is formed when a person marries and has children. So, the statement is False. The correct term is "family of orientation".
• Question 13: The nuclear family is the most recognizable family form in the United States. An extended family is less common. So, the statement is False. The correct term is "nuclear family".
• Question 14: The opposite of "family" could be "stranger" or "outsider" as family implies a close - knit group and the opposite would be someone not part of that group.
• Question 15: Monogamy is having one spouse. The opposite is polygamy (having multiple spouses). But if we consider the form of the word, "mono -" (one) and the opposite prefix could be "poly -" (many). But in terms of a word, "polygamy" is the direct opposite in the context of marriage.
