Read the following excerpt from the novel: Chapter 1: Sun and Shadow Thirty years ago, Marseilles lay burning in the sun, one da

y. A blazing sun upon a fierce August day was no greater rarity in southern France then, than at any other time, before or since. Everything in Marseilles, and about Marseilles, had stared at the fervid sky, and been stared at in return, until a staring habit had become universal there. Strangers were stared out of countenance by staring white houses, staring white walls, staring white streets, staring tracts of arid road, staring hills from which verdure was burnt away. The only things to be seen not fixedly staring and glaring were the vines drooping under their load of grapes. These did occasionally wink a little, as the hot air barely moved their faint leaves. There was no wind to make a ripple on the foul water within the harbor, or on the beautiful sea without. The line of demarcation between the two colors, black and blue, showed the point which the pure sea would not pass; but it lay as quiet as the abominable pool, with which it never mixed. Boats without awnings were too hot to touch; ships blistered at their moorings; the stones of the quays had not cooled, night or day, for months. Descendants from all the builders of Babel, come to trade at Marseilles, sought the shade alike—taking refuge in any hiding-place from a sea too intensely blue to be looked at, and a sky of purple, set with one great flaming jewel of fire. Blinds, shutters, curtains, awnings, were all closed and drawn to keep out the stare. Grant it but a chink or keyhole, and it shot in like a white-hot arrow. The churches were the freest from it. To come out of the twilight of pillars and arches—dreamily dotted with winking lamps, dreamily peopled with ugly old shadows piously dozing, spitting, and begging—was to plunge into a fiery river, and swim for life to the nearest strip of shade. So, with people lounging and lying wherever shade was, with but little hum of tongues or barking of dogs, with occasional jangling of discordant church bells and rattling of vicious drums, Marseilles, a fact to be strongly smelt and tasted, lay broiling in the sun one day. Read this line again: Strangers were stared out of countenance by staring white houses, staring white walls, staring white streets, staring tracts of arid road, staring hills from which verdure was burnt away. What does this line suggest about the city of Marseilles? It was the place to find grapes. It was a colorful city. Its people were fond of swimming. It was a difficult city to live in.

Yolanda is 24, Zachary is 44, and Andrew is 73. Assume that each successfully completed the psychosocial crisis associated with
sashaice [31]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Erik Erikson's theory of Psychosocial Development was developed by Erik Erikson and Joan Erikson in the late twentieth century. The theory is divided into eight stages of development of a child till late adulthood. Each stage is divided into two parts that denote the outcome of successful completion or unsuccessfulness in that stage.

So, according to Erikson's theory, the successful completion of the people mentioned above will be Yolanda at the intimacy stage, Zachary at generativity, and Andrew at the wisdom stage.

Intimacy v. Isolation is the sixth stage of the theory. This stage comprises of people aged between 20-40 years. In this stage, adults begin to share themselves intimately with others in loving relationships. If one fails at this stage of development, he/she begin to develop isolation and fear of intimate relationships. But successful completion results in intimacy.

<u>Yolanda is 24 and at the sixth stage of the development. Thus, her successful completion will result in intimacy</u>.

Generativity v. Stagnation is the seventh stage of the theory. This stage consists of people aged between 40-65 years. At this stage, middle aged-adults begin to find the work in which they can contribute to the welfare of the next generation. They begin to contribute towards the welfare of the society which can leave the lasting impact. Successful completion of this stage results in generativity whereas failure leaves them with feelings of stagnation and that they are not able to work towards the contribution; thus leaving them with little connections and little room for self-improvement.

<u>Zachary, who is 44 years old, belongs to the middle aged-adults and the seventh stage of the theory. Thus, according to the theory, his successful completion will lead him to generativity</u>.

Integrity v. Despair is the eighth and last stage of the theory. People who are 65+ till death belongs to this stage. At this stage, old aged adults begin to look back at their life and reflect on whether they succeeded in doing what they wanted or failed. After knowing that they successfully lived their lives leads them to wisdom. This wisdom helps them to sense the completeness in their lives and they feel ready to face death without fear. Failure in living a good life makes them feel despair.

<u>Andrew is 73 years old and belongs to the eight stage of the theory. Thus, his successful completion of this stage will lead him to integrity and wisdom</u>.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
