Question

Based on the above passage, the following assumptions have been made:

1The adolescent does not feel comfortable with his parents because they tend to be dominating and assertive. [cite: 1799, 1801]
2The adolescent of modern times does not have much respect for parents.

Options

a

1 only

Answer
b

2 only

c

Both 1 and 2

d

Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

Statement 1 is a valid assumption because the author explicitly notes that parental concern is often a "disguise for love of power" and that parents express "dogmatic" options [cite: 1727, 1798], which directly maps to being "dominating and assertive". This behavioral pattern causes the youth to not confide in them [cite: 1727, 1798].

Statement 2 claims that adolescents of "modern times" lack respect. This introduces a specific historical timeline parameter ("modern times") and an emotional value judgment ("lack of respect") that are not supported by the universal psychological analysis provided in the text[cite: 1725, 1726, 1727, 1798].

Avoid validating assumptions that generalize timeless developmental behavior into a specific critique of "modern times" or "today's youth."

Answer: (a).
