According to the memoir, how are generations within refugee communities connected?

• B. Generations remain isolated with no shared roles.
• C. Only elders provide guidance while others contribute nothing.
• D. Children are the sole responsibility takers.

Answer: (A)

Generations in a refugee community stay connected through a network of shared wisdom, mutual support, and overlapping responsibilities. Elders carry and pass down stories, traditions, and practical survival knowledge that help younger people understand their roots and navigate life in the camp. Parents manage daily needs—finding food and shelter, ensuring safety, and helping their children access education—while leaning on the guidance of elders and the energy and help that younger family members provide. Children contribute by learning quickly, taking on chores, assisting with translations, and keeping hope alive, all of which strengthens the family and the broader community. This interdependence shows that generations aren’t isolated or limited to single roles; they support each other, making resilience possible even in displacement.
