Question

Which of the following sayings might a person experiencing intergenerational miscommunication say about her child or grandchild?

A .“If you can't beat 'em, join ‘em.”
B .“A fool and his money are soon parted.”
C. “Hard work pays off.”
D. “Kids these days have no respect.”

Answer 1

The correct answer is D.

An older person who is experiencing intergenerational miscommunication might believe a child or grandchild is rude, ignorant, or even downright bad.

As a result, he or she might say, "Kids these days have no respect." The other options are not indicative of intergenerational miscommunication.
