Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Rites of passage refer to those ceremonies or other social markers that indicate the transition from one phase of life to another. Examples are getting a driver's license, which is a mark of the transition to adulthood for the adolescent, or the 21st birthday, or graduation from college, or marriage.
