What purpose does visiting the extended family serve, according to the material?

• A. To get their take on Chris and see them
• B. To gather legal documents
• C. To solicit a story
• D. To measure the community impact

Answer: (A)

Visiting the extended family is about gathering the relatives’ impressions of Chris and meeting them to understand how he fit into different parts of his world. Their firsthand memories and feelings provide a more rounded view of his character than what immediate family or outsiders alone might offer, helping you see him from multiple angles. This focus on personal perspectives supports building a nuanced portrait rather than seeking legal documents, chasing a single story, or evaluating broader community effects. The material uses these visits to illuminate how Chris was seen within his larger family network, giving depth to his life and choices from a relational standpoint.
