Which of the following describes millennials?

1922 - 1945
1943 - 1960
1961 - 1983
1984 - 2003

The correct answer is: 1984 - 2003

The description of millennials aligns with individuals born between 1984 and 2003. This generation follows Generation X and precedes Generation Z. The defining characteristics of millennials often include their familiarity with technology, having grown up during the rise of the internet, and their experiences shaped by significant social and economic changes, such as the 2008 financial crisis. The other ranges in the question correspond to different generations: the first option represents the Silent Generation, born during the early to mid-20th century; the second option refers to the Baby Boomers, who were born during the post-World War II baby boom; and the third option encapsulates Generation X, which includes those who came of age in the late 20th century and were often characterized as being more independent and resourceful. Understanding the boundaries of each generational cohort helps clarify the distinct societal influences and characteristics attributed to them.
