Question

• Which of the following best describes the historical context behind Katherine

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct Answer:

B. Women in Mansfield's time were given few opportunities outside  of marriage; they lived lives that paled in comparison to the lives of men.

Explanation:

In the short sotry by Katherine, it shows the challenges the women faces in terms of opportunities outside marriage when  compared with men. This could be seen in the sisters thought on what to do with their lives since they have never met any man before.

This is due to the tyrannical action of their father. And, they also reflect on what their lives would have been, had it been their father was alive.
