Answer 1

Answer:

B. Five million women joined the workforce in World War II.

Explanation:

During the World War 2, while many abled men were drafted in the United States Army, it opened up working spaces for women. The poster which was widely referred to as "Rosie the Riveter" was an attempt to call women to enter workforce during the war.

However, given that Five million women joined the workforce in World War II. The poster misrepresents the idea that women only worked in the industrial sectors such as welders and riveters during World War II. While the truth is that the majority of working women also worked in non-factory positions in every sector of the economy.

Hence, the right answer is option B. Five million women joined the workforce in World War II.
