<h3>What is a generation gap?</h3>
The complete part of the question including the options is: Which sentence best explains how the structure of the excerpt supports the author's purpose?
A. It uses the third-person point of view to convey Baldwin's inner feelings regarding his father.
B. It describes how Baldwin and his father were victims of stubbornness to reveal that pride is a sin.
C. It describes the stubborn pride Baldwin and his father shared to reveal a growing estrangement between generations.
D. It makes a statement about the generation gap that existed in America at the time.
The generation gap is a difference between the two generations that is due to the conflict between the parent and the children. The older generations have more life experiences and are more concerned.
