Answer:
The effect I think "The Hook" would have on teenagers in the 1950s would be to not make out at random "Lover's Lane/Cove" type places. Their parents would not have wanted their kids to probably get pregnant and become parents at such young ages, so I guess these "Hook" stories worked in rural areas. Asylum and jail breakouts were common in those times without the types of technology they have today. With this being said, teenagers, today would not believe in this story. Also, I would say gun laws are more lenient than before, depending on a state by state cases, so people can defend themselves more easily. Also, video and live stream technology exist so teenagers today will have an assurance that the attacker will be caught if they are attacked.
Hopefully this will help you a little bit
C would be my best guess but idk.

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>
