Which of the following best describes a life stage from the Jewish holy book, the Talmud?
a. Ages 35–42: A stage of maturity of mind and morals, when his mind, ever open to virtue, broadens, and never inspires him to profitless deeds. b. Age 13: The age of moral responsibility, when a boy has his Bar Mitzvah signifying that he is responsible for keeping the religious commandments, rather than his parents being responsible for him. c. Age 60: The religious ideal in this stage is for a man to withdraw from the world and literally live in the forest, devoting himself to prayer and religious study, living only on alms and cultivating patience and compassion. d. Age 42–56: The renunciant goes even farther than the forest dweller in rejecting worldly attachments. The purpose of life in this stage is simply to prepare for the end of this life and entry into the next.
