Blight means ruin and disaster. Words and phrases that indicate and support this meaning are: "the last bitter hour" (denoting death), "stern agony, and shroud, and pall" (also denoting death, but this time in an even more literal way), "breathless darkness", "make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart" (these phrases definitely imply a disaster that takes our breath away).
The correct answer is <span>B. Why are women important characters in literature but unimportant in history?
Woolf is famous for her early feminist prose where she wrote about how women are underappreciated, which they definitely were at the time. She wondered how it was possible that all famous writers and poets wrote so much about women, and their importance, but when it came to actual, real life, they were often ignored and subjugated.

The narrator develops this point of view by showing that the Wright Brothers were pioneers in advancing technology.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- The Wright Brothers created the first plane to achieve flight, after being catapulted, in America.
- This achievement was created with a lot of effort, study, and dedication from the brothers.
- This plane was a milestone in technological advancement worldwide and placed the brothers as pioneers of aviation, which placed them as one of the great names in technology.
This pioneering spirit and dedication to the creation of the plane was what the author of "History in the Making" used to create a point of view on the importance of the Wright Brothers in technology.
