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>

A life hack is a strategy that helps you do something better or with greater ease, and that would probably also help others if they knew about it. Sometimes “shortcut” is used as a synonym. A life hack can be anything from a practical piece of advice (like the tip that you should always have certain items in the trunk of your car in case of an emergency) to a stratagem to use in social contexts (like a mnemonic device for remembering the name of someone you have just met) to a philosophical notion (like the belief that “good things come to those who wait”).

What are some of your favorite life hacks?

In the Opinion essay “The Greatest Life Hacks in the World (for Now),” David Brooks compiles a list that begins:

We here at Opinion Headquarters don’t merely offer you controversial opinions on world events; we offer priceless life hacks to help you float effortlessly through the miasma of modern existence. These are the kind of bits of golden wisdom that get earned over decades of experience but that can be shared for free.
