Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study found that middle-aged men who married or remarried declined in neuroticism faster than those who did not get married during that same period. Therefore, choice (A) is correct. The opposite of this (increased in neuroticism faster) is not supported by the study, making choice (B) incorrect. Likewise, choices (C) and (D) are also not supported, as the study found that neuroticism declined rather than increased, and that the decline was faster rather than slower.
