Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Generation X includes people born between 1965 and 1980, which puts Katherine, born in 1970, within this generational group. Members of Generation X are generally considered to be environmentally conscious and media-savvy, making this the most likely choice. Baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964, making Katherine too young to be considered part of this generation. The GI and silent generations are both older than Katherine, with the former born between 1901 and 1927 and the latter born between 1928 and 1945. Generation Y refers to people born after 1980, making Katherine too old to be part of this group.
