Since this is a multiple question within one question, the best answers for each one, with a bit of background and explanation would be as follows:

1. A. Being selfish. Generativity vs self-absorption, or stagnation is the seventh stage of development from Erik Erikson´s theory. It usually happens during middle adulthood, between the mid-twenties and the late fifties and this passage means that adults find their way out of their own interests to wish to make a difference in the world by becoming nurturer´s of the upcoming generations. Thus, the one thing that should not be present in this stage, would be, being selfish.

2. The best answer to this question, would be: B) Good debating skills. Debating skills are not necessary in a marriage, since debating is not an activity, or a purpose in a marriage. However, having good communication, having shared values and interests and definitely commitment, are all factor that come together to form a successful marriage.

3. The correct answer to this question, would be, False. In fact, middle adulthood is known for being the moment when physical health starts to change, having the body already reached its developmental capacities and beginning decline. This is why people in this age range need to take care of their health much more than people at younger ages.
