    Full question:

    Jeri's only child has married, signaling a change in Jeri's life structure. It will take Jeri a while to adjust to her new "empty nest." According to Levinson, which of the following terms applies to this adjustment period?

    A) Transitional phase

    B) Culmination phase

    C) Novice phase

    D) Late-era phase

    Answer:

    According to Levinson, Novice phase applies to this adjustment period.

    Option C

    Explanation:

    Levinson divides the novice phase into the stages as follows,

    Early adult transition (17-22) Entering the adult world (22-28) Age-30 transition (28-33) Culminating phase (33-45) consists of two phases as follows, Settling down (33-40) Midlife transition (40-45) stages

    This period of life after her child's marriage where a person's life structure faces a lot of changes is called the midlife transition phase. It is in this age that people after having their children get married, are left with an 'empty nest' of a life in order for them to fill up through other activities.

    From the Levinson's seasons of a man, the best period to describe Jeri's current position would be the Midlife Transition Phase that comes under the Culminating phase of life.
