The correct answers are:

• Even in cultures where polygyny is encouraged, most men are monogamous.
• The custom of men marrying later than women promotes polygyny.

Explanation:

• The statement "In most societies, only virgins are accepted as plural wives" is not necessarily true. The acceptance of plural wives can vary greatly depending on cultural, religious, and societal norms, and it is not solely dependent on whether the women are virgins or not.
• Polygyny is not very common in the United States. In fact, it is illegal in all 50 states. However, there are some small, isolated communities where it is practiced, but these are the exception, not the rule.
• Even in cultures where polygyny is encouraged, most men are monogamous. This is because polygyny often requires a certain level of wealth or status, as supporting multiple wives and families can be financially challenging.
• The custom of men marrying later than women can promote polygyny. This is because if men are older and more established when they marry, they may be more likely to afford to support multiple wives.
