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.

In paragraph 20-30 how does the author build suspense about her wages
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

She keeps talking nervously and anxiously how she is waiting to get paid.

Explanation:

If you read paragraphs 20 to 30, you will see that she is describing her dream of walking in her new American clothes and replacing her old immigrant rags with fancy beautiful clothes she will be able to buy once she gets paid. Later on she describes her day while she is waiting for her salary - her hands are shaking, she cannot think straight, she is nervous and anxious about getting paid, and in the end, she doesn't even receive anything for her hard work.

She keeps thinking that her employers must have forgotten and that they will remember about her wage as the day goes by, but unfortunately that never happens and she is left penniless.
