What are the final two phases of Levinson's stage model for adult development ?
Answer: B
The keyed pair is age 30 transition phase, settling down period.
Levinson's seasons of early adulthood run in this order: early adult transition, entering the adult world, age 30 transition, settling down. Read as the closing steps of that early-adulthood sequence, the last two are the age 30 transition followed by settling down, which is option B. Note that Levinson's full scheme continues into the mid-life transition and middle adulthood, so the stem is incomplete without that reading; B is the only option that is in the right order for it.
(D) reverses the order, since the age 30 transition comes before settling down. (C) pairs the transition that starts early adulthood with entering the adult world, which are the earlier phases. (A) names a generic 'transition phase' and so is less specific than B, which names the age 30 transition that actually precedes settling down.
