Solution

The correct answers are:

  1. Membership is by choice.
  2. People can belong to the descent group of any or all of their grandparents.
  3. All members of the group descend from a common ancestor.

Explanation:

Ambilineal descent groups are flexible in that individuals can choose to affiliate with their mother's or father's group. This is different from matrilineal and patrilineal descent where membership is determined strictly by either the mother or father's line.

In ambilineal descent, people can belong to the descent group of any or all of their grandparents, which provides a wider range of kinship ties.

Finally, all members of the group descend from a common ancestor. This is a characteristic of all descent groups, not just ambilineal ones.
