Answer:
Women choose lesser goals for themselves
Explanation:
In Laura Cereta's Defense of the Liberal Instruction of Women, the reason she gave for why there are so few intellectual women in Renaissance Italy is that "Women choose lesser goals for themselves."
This is evident from the letter written by Laura Cereta on January 13, 1488, where she claimed that "...And here choice alone, since it is the arbiter of character, is the distinguishing factor. For some women worry about the styling of their hair, the elegance of their clothes, and the pearls and other jewelry they wear on their fingers. Others love to say cute little things, to hide their feelings behind a mask of tranquility, to indulge in dancing, and to lead pet dogs around on a leash. For all I care, other women can long for parties with carefully appointed tables, for the peace of mind of sleep, or they can yearn to deface with paint the pretty face they see reflected in their mirrors..."

Answer:
The British partitioned Bengal so that the province of Bengal can be easily and more safely governed compared to the large province being governed as a single province.
Explanation:
At the time of the partition, Bengal was the largest province of the Indian states under the Britishers. The Lieutenant Governor Lord Curzon believed that it will be easier to "divide" the province and rule if the province is made into smaller provinces.
Following the policy of "divide and rule", Bengal was partitioned into two- East and West Bengal, separating the Hindus and Muslim population. Though the 'alleged' intention was to separate Bengal and not on religious grounds, the separation ended in a chasm between the Hindus and Muslims. But the main reason for the Partition of Bengal was for administrative purposes, to make the governing of the provinces easier and more accessible.
