Part A: How does the idea of different generations interact with the theory of the four “Turnings” within the text?

A) By studying past generations, we can predict how future generations will act.
B) The difference between generations can help explain why people from different age groups generally do not see eye-to-eye.
C) While each generation faces its own issues, historical evidence suggests that there may be a pattern of different reactions, or “Turnings,” that take place within different generations.
D) Each generation faces its own trials, but some generations thrive from hardship while others suffer.
