C) No
A can be removed because it is not talking about politics like the question asked. B can be removed because the essay does not speak of politics. I decide to remove D because after reading it, the text does not mention how newspapers develop over time. Instead, it talks about how newspapers were made and how throughout different areas. This leads to answer choice C, which truthfully claims that the author focuses on the technology (in this case, it simply means tools or items) used to make different types of newspapers.
Hopefully, this helped. if you have any questions, please dont hesitate to ask !

Read the excerpt from "Federigo’s Falcon" by Giovanni Boccaccio. Which phrase shows that Federigo squandered his wealth?
There was once in Florence a young man named Federigo, the son of Messer Filippo Alberighi, renowned above all other men in Tuscany for his prowess in arms and for his courtliness. As often happens to most gentlemen, he fell in love with a lady named Monna Giovanna, in her day considered to be one of the most beautiful and one of the most charming women that ever there was in Florence; and in order to win her love, he participated in jousts and tournaments, organized and gave feasts, and spent his money without restraint; but she, no less virtuous than beautiful, cared little for these things done on her behalf, nor did she care for him who did them. Now, as Federigo was spending far beyond his means and was taking nothing in, as easily happens he lost his wealth and became poor, with nothing but his little farm to his name (from whose revenues he lived very meagerly) and one falcon which was among the best in the world.

The statement which best explains the meaning of the excerpt from Betty Friedan's "The Problem That Has No Name" is the following one:
Women no longer have to die in childbirth or do hard housework thanks to twentieth-century advances.
The author mentions science and labor-saving appliances as the twentieth-century advances that would free women from the dangers of childbirth and the illnesses of their grandmothers (the first) and also from drudgery (the latter).
We must rule out the other alternatives because:
- It's not that women's grandmothers gave them diseases; it's just that science hadn't evolved to the point of being able to find a cure for some minor diseases before the advances of twentieth-century advances.
- The author says nothing about women not <em>enjoying</em> childbirth; she only mentions the dangers of it.
- The author does not mention "doctors". In fact, she mentions "science" and "labor-saving appliances". Even if we regard doctors as professionals who prescribe medication (invented by science), the last alternative says nothing about labor-saving appliances.
