It is B because the other answers can’t be it
5. A means through which something is done.
At the beginning of act two, scene two, there is a conflict between George and Beneatha after they get home. They have dated many times before, and when they were out this time, he tells her that he expects to have a more physical relationship with her, revealing his thoughts about education, that he sees it only as a way to get money.
When he tried to kiss her at the couch while she was trying to have a conversation telling him about her dream of becoming a doctor, she moved away and refused to kiss him. George gets angry saying that "he expects women to appear sophisticated but not to express sophisticated opinions" (C) as she's been doing many times, calling her moody and her thoughts stupid. Beneatha resolves it by ending the relationship calling him a fool. He wouldn't take her seriously and she could not change his mind deciding he is not the man for her.
In "The Revolt of Mother" Freeman described women's role in the 19th century, when women were the only ones responsible for the household chores and for raising the children. In fact, these were the only things they were supposed to be occupied with as they wouldn't go to school like boys nor would they find a job. Freeman also describes the position of the mother in the family, where she couldn't participate in decision-making which concerned the house and the family including her. All important decisions were taken by the husband and even if the wife disagreed she couldn't do anything about it.
Today, in the Western world, women have gained the right to education and to equal opportunities in employment. Their role in the family has also changed as today the father participates in the household chores as well and he is also responsible for bringing up the children. Nowadays, the women can take important decisions concerning their lives and their families.
However, there some remnants from that era that are still with us today. For example, even if women have gained the right to vote there are still less women in the Parliaments than men. In addition to this, there are plenty of jobs in which they prefer to hire men or where women and men are not equally paid. Last but not least, many people still believe that women should have a different role in the family than men.
In conclusion, although the position of women has improved a lot since the era of Freeman, there are still many issues to be resolved.
