Answer 1

Answer: (A)

From is used to indicate movement, since, source, cause, separation, distance and protection. The first part of the given sentence indicates a difference in opinions. So,the first blank must be from.

Of is used to indicate possession, relation, substance, cause or about. The second part of the sentence talks about the older generations. Thus the second blank must be 'of'.

Thus option A is the correct answer.
