Read the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.

The generation gap between the parents and the children is due to the fact that the parents have experienced real life and whatever they have learned from personal experiences becomes a true knowledge for them. Suppose that they have succeeded in life by following a path, they may want their children to follow the same path for success. For example, if they have worked very hard in studies and got a good government job, they may advice their children to do the same for a having a good life as them. This also happens in other dimensions. The parents tend to treat their personal experiences as universal knowledge, which is false. What work for one person may not work for any other person because people have different talents and aptitudes. Moreover, the times have changed in the new generation and now a number of new avenues and challenges have come about which your parents have no idea or experience. The children have no experience of the real life, hence they take a fresh look of everything in life. They may be guided by the experiences of their parents but they are also guided by the experiences of other people and by their own desires, talents and aptitudes. They want to experiment with their life and discover their own path. However, parents love their children so much that they don’t want them to suffer failure. They want them to be safe by following their path which is tested by them. This difference of opinion gives rise to the so-called generation gap.

What is the reason of the generation gap mentioned in the passage?
