Answer 1

I believe the answer is: c. the clancys are experiencing higher levels of marital satisfaction than the mckavicks are.
Based on the research of marital satisfaction, most couple who grow old together to the point when they've acquired grandchildren are typically more satisfied with their marriage compared to younger couples.
This happen because in order to stay together that long, couples need a high compatibility level.
