Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions from 26 to 30.

For many Vietnamese teenagers, choosing a university major is one of the most stressful milestones in life, not only because of the tough exams, but also due to the generation gap at home. Parents, having experienced economic hardships in the past, tend to value job security and social status above all else. Consequently, they often want their children to follow in their footsteps or pursue "safe" careers such as banking, medicine, or teaching. They believe that because they have more life experience, their children must listen to their advice to avoid future regret.

However, Generation Z teenagers have a very different mindset. Growing up in a rapidly changing digital world, they are curious, creative, and eager to explore emerging fields like artificial intelligence, digital marketing, or content creation. Many young people feel frustrated when their parents try to force their career choices on them. They believe that they don't have to follow a traditional path to be successful and that personal passion is just as important as a stable income.

Psychologists suggest that to resolve this conflict, open communication is essential. Teenagers ought to remain calm and prove to their parents that they have researched their chosen career carefully, rather than just following a temporary trend. Meanwhile, parents should learn to step back and act as advisors rather than controllers. When parents respect their children's independence and children appreciate their parents' good intentions, the generation gap can be turned into a bridge of shared wisdom.

A. The history of traditional jobs in Vietnamese extended families.

C. Generational differences in career choices and how to bridge the gap.

A. Because those jobs require very little screen time.
B. Because they prioritize job stability and social standing.
C. Because universities only offer scholarships for those majors.
D. Because Gen Zers are not creative enough for other jobs.

A. the disagreement between parents and teens over career paths
B. the economic hardship that parents experienced in the past
C. the competition among teenagers in university exams
D. the rapid development of artificial intelligence
