Agnes and Paul, both 19 years of age, got married right after their high school graduation in 1945. Their first child was born a year later, when they were 20. Agnes, like most other young women she knew, stayed home to raise her children and take care of the home. Paul found a good job at a nearby food processing plant. Given their generation, which of the following best defines this couple's stage of life at the age of 20? a. Agnes and Paul were enmeshed adults because they were still relatively young and not completely autonomous. b. Agnes and Paul were adults because they were married and had a child. c. Agnes and Paul were not adults because they were not 21 years of age. d. Agnes and Paul belong in the category called "youth," because they continued to explore possibilities.
