Erica Recently Married Jermain

Erica recently married Jermain. Jermain has a seventeen-year-old daughter named Arabia from a previous marriage. Erica considers herself progressive while Arabia considers herself conservative, and they often disagree over politics. How might a sociologist understand this dynamic?

A) Women of different ages have a difficult time getting along.
B) Liberal-identifying women are statistically more likely to have a difficult time with stepchildren, because they care less about family values.
C) Arabia is young, so her relationship with Erica will likely improve over time.
D) Most stepchildren belong to two households, so the possibilities of ideological clashes are considerable.
