Answer: E

Explanation: A) "news" is singular so "were" should be singular, i.e. "was"

B) redundant, unnecessary

C) plural/singular subject/verb concordance

D) "in order" is wordy, redundant and unnecessary. "in addition" is used improperly. Although this does have the correct structure of the idiomatic "in addition to", it is used incorrectly. "in addition to" should begin a phrase/complete thought; should start a sentence, right after conjunction or comma.

E) active tense, bypassing plural/singular agreement problem; this is tricky! Correct, concise sentence. If you have issues with modifier "by swift messenger", this is modifying "four days". e.g. the mail took four days by post to arrive. "by post" lets us know what type of mailing method took four days.

What evidence from the text best supports the theme that the roles of women are defined by society
nadezda [96]

What evidence from the text best supports the theme that the roles of women are defined by society?

"You have loved me as a wife ought to love her husband. Only you had not sufficient knowledge to judge of the means you used."

"But do you suppose you are any the less dear to me, because you don't understand how to act on your own responsibility?"

"I will advise you and direct you. I should not be a man if this womanly helplessness did not just give you a double attractiveness in my eyes."

"You must not think anymore about the hard things I said in my first moment of consternation, when I thought everything was going to overwhelm me."

Answer:

"I will advise you and direct you. I should not be a man if this womanly helplessness did not just give you a double attractiveness in my eyes."

Explanation:

The evidence from the text that best supports the theme that the roles of women are defined by society is "I will advise you and direct you. I should not be a man if this womanly helplessness did not just give you a double attractiveness in my eyes.".

Traditionally, the role of women has been looked at as one that needs guidance from her husband and one who needs to perform the role of a wife dutifully, it is what society expects of her. So, the correct answer is option C.
