Answer:
B). Men made the decisions regarding marriage and women did not.
C). Women's feelings about love were not traditionally considered.
D). Women in traditional society wanted to change their role.
Explanation:
The passage displays how women were traditionally considered inferior sex. They had been marginalized and suppressed for years and the passage aims to display that the women did not have an equal right to choose their life partners as the men had. Their emotions of love were not taken into consideration but the men possessed this right too. Basically, the women were the victims of gender discrimination in the traditional society and thus, they had an innate desire to change their role in society and get equal rights. Thus, <u>options B, C, and D</u> are the correct answers.
<em><u>she was a tall girl, slender and graceful.</u></em>
Answer:
C. A performer relies on being in the public eye for success but still yearns for privacy.
Explanation:
The irony is when what happens is contradictory to what is expected or wanted. In other words, the irony is a rhetorical device that occurs when what one expects and wanted does not happen but rather, the contrary/opposite happens.
In the given passage about performers, the irony is that they rely on public opinion and the public's support for their success as performers. But then, they wanted privacy and to be away from the public. So, this is a complete irony in that while they desire the public for their success, they also yearn for privacy.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
