Answer:

C. Derisive

Explanation:

The question is from Maya Angelou's <em>I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. </em>In Chapter 16, Angelou, through her main character, Marguerite, describes the discrimination between how white and black girls are prepared for life. She describes,  “While white girls learned to waltz and sit gracefully with a tea cup balanced . . . we were lagging behind, learning the mid-Victorian values.” Black girls are also taught to work in the kitchen for white families.

One day, Marguerite overhears her employer, Mrs. Cullinan while she's talking to the cook. “her name’s too long. I’d never bother myself. I’d call her Mary if I was you.” Angelou describes Marguerite's anger and disgust in the words, “lunch in her mouth a second time.” Later, Marguerite is so angry that she decides to quit her job and breaks several of Mrs. Cullinan's favorite dishes.

The correct answer is: The Victorian woman existed mostly in the “private sphere.”

In the Victorian era (19th Century), women were considered inferior and subordinate to men, the latter of which were seen as breadwinners who supported their families. In the Victorian era, women "belonged" in the household, and their roles involved childcare, cooking, cleaning, and emotionally supporting their husband and children. Thus, it can be said that the Victorian woman existed mostly in the “private sphere.”
