Explanation:

A mixed construction occurs when a sentence starts with one grammatical structure and then shifts to another, creating confusion. Let's analyze each part of the passage:

1. "For many millennials, getting married early in life is less of a priority than it was for young adults two generations ago." – This is a clear comparison structure (X is less of a priority than Y was), with consistent subjects and verb agreement.
2. "Some studies claim that 25 percent of millennials say they will never marry." – The structure "studies claim that... say..." is not a mixed construction here. It's a report of what studies claim (that a percentage of millennials make a statement), and the clauses are properly nested.
3. "Even millennials who may eventually want to get married say that they will wait until they are in their 30s." – This is a straightforward subject-verb structure with a relative clause ("who may eventually want to get married") modifying "millennials," and the main clause "say that..." with a clear object clause.

None of the sentences exhibit the typical signs of a mixed construction (e.g., mismatched subjects and predicates, illogical shifts in structure). So the passage has no mixed constructions.
