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:
I think ots A but I could be wrong
Explanation:
it's not D because it's not talking about historical events
Answer and Explanation:
The answer that makes the most sense is D) Text Details.
A isn't the answer because this is something we would hear/read about first to know what is happening and to get details of who the character is before diving into the story. This is information about a character.
B isn't the answer because conclusions would be made near the end or middle of the story, where we make inferences and conclusions of what happens when the story ends. This would be Inference.
C isn't the answer because we are being told the traits of a person. This answer and A could possibly be background knowledge, as we get to know the character before the story begins so we aren't lost, we could learn about these during the story as well. This is information about a character.
D is correct because we are given text details about the story/character. We would be given things like how they ended up in the beginning situation, where they are from, why they are here, etc.
