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>

The answer is: D. A line of iambic pentameter contains five feet, with the unstressed syllable following the stressed syllable.
Iambic pentametric is a traditional kind of metric line in English poetry and verse. It involves a line of five feet or syllables - one unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one.
The rest of the alternatives are incorrect because they refer to three, four and six feet, and some of them state that the unstressed syllable comes after the stressed syllable.
I would say either (A) or (B)
