Question

Read the following passage from "The Women's Baths."

Answer 1

The correct answer is C) traditional baths help women feel appreciated and honored.

The statement that best expresses the writer's feelings about the rituals of women is that traditional baths help women feel appreciated and honored.

Rituals are very important for women, as the author of the "Women's Baths" tried to transmit in the passage above. We can clearly see this in the excerpt that says: "She was pleased and proud as she listened to the blessings called down on her by those who had received her largesse." The author wants to transmit the notion that the grandmother felt good and very proud of herself by the compliments she received.

The author continues with another important moment to understand that traditional baths help women feel appreciated and honored when she writes: "Then she gave me an intentionally lofty look as if to say: "Can you appreciate your grandmother's status now?"

Ulfat al-Idlib (1912-2007)  is the author of "The Women Baths's." She was a Syrian writer and a feminist that supported women's rights.
