Which of these synonyms best replaces the underlined word in the following sentence?

<span>C. Youthful

"Child-like" as a word can best be replaced by the adjective youthful. It is the correct part of speech to fit into the rest of the sentence, and it means basically the same thing. Acting like a child is acting as one did in youth, so youthful and child-like are very close synonyms. </span>

devlian [24]

Answer:

Entry B is incorrect because the publisher is connected to the date of publication and therefore should be separated by a comma.

Entry C is incorrect because you should not be using quotation marks to indicate the title.

Entry D is incorrect because you should not be using a comma after the title. The title and the publisher are two different elements.

Ann [662]

Answer and Explanation:

The text presents the idea that women were created to be kept silent and to have influences only inside their homes. This was done to leave women in a captive situation, as the world did not offer the rights and resources for them to get rid of these so limiting roles, but women knew their values and started to face society and demand that they be heard and attended to. because they were deserving of rights and respect and that is why they used their voices, even against the majority of the population and fought for what they knew they should have.
