Answer:
The option which best states the author's overall purpose in this text is:
D. To inform the reader of a theory that attempts to explain why generations act the way they do.
Explanation:
I looked this question up and found out it concerns the text "What Past Generations Can Teach Us About Our Future," by former Newsweek correspondent Mike Kubic (born in 1927).
According to the article, Strauss & Howe developed a theory that explains and, in a way, even predicts how each generation will act. There are four "turnings" or stages which generations go through. According to Strauss & Howe's observations, these stages always happen in the same order: high, awakening, unraveling, and crisis. The generation belonging to each turning will always present certain traits and behaviors concerning their sense of community, individualism, economic prosperity, respect for institutions, etc.
<u>According to Kubic, this theory has been both praised and criticized, even though, so far, it has been able to successfully make predictions about the American society. However, it is important to note that Kubic does not praise or criticize it himself. All he does is describe and explain it. His purpose is to inform readers about the existence of the theory.</u>

Answer:
Psychology is the branch of science that studies the mind and behavior.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs helps people understand themselves in a new way.
Explanation:
You haven't provided the passage, but based on the way the question was formalized and the options you were given, I can answer your question anyway.
Because the question asks <em>which statements</em>, we know that there is more than one correct answer. Based on the options, I can conclude that the passage tells about psychology and then about Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
A summary is a shortened version of a piece of writing (e.g. article, poem, chapter, novel). It should contain only the text's main ideas and the most important supporting details. The main idea of a text is the main point the author is making.
An objective statement is a statement based on facts. Unlike subjective statements, they are not influenced by a person's personal opinions, beliefs, feelings, or assumptions.
Only these two statements are objective and represent the main ideas:
- <em>Psychology is the branch of science that studies the mind and behavior.</em>
- <em>Maslow's hierarchy of needs helps people understand themselves in a new way.</em>
The rest of the options are supporting details and contain subjective language, which is why they can't be correct.
The correct answer here is A.
The word "gross" in this line from Frederick Douglas's famous speech named
<span>“What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” </span>means flagrant or extreme. This term is often used with the word "injustice" and it means unacceptable and obvious which is definition for flagrant as well.
