Answer: A

signal the limitations of a cliché she plans to undermine

Explanation:

The author uses the phrase “seemingly peculiarly adapted” to signal the limitations of the widely held notion that women have an innate aptitude for needlework. In the sentence that immediately follows ("Yet surely it is not . . . embrace it"), she undermines the idea by archly implying that, contrary to clichéd assumptions, many men enjoy and excel at needlework—they engage in it voluntarily, not because they are compelled to do so. The author engages with this claim about women and needlework because it appears to be self-evident; by pointing out that “men can do it, and do it well,” the author calls into question the notion that women are specially adapted to needlework, further supporting her thesis that intellect is not determined by gender.

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

In the book titled "In Nature's Name: An Anthology of of Women's Writing and Illustration , 1780-1930" the author Barbara T. Gates compiles the lost works of women who wrote from being inspired by the nature.

From the late eighteenth century to early twentieth century, British women wrote about the nature.

By calling the needlework as "seemingly peculiarly adapted to powers and tastes of women" primarily meant to signal the limitations of a cliche she plans to undermine. Therefore, option A is correct.

You may wonder why I was so hard on you. I was hard on you because I was you.
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Dear Paul,

You may be wondering why I was so hard on you, it was because I was you.

My parents died while I was in high school and I was sent to live with my aunt.  I skipped school, and spent a lot of my time with a shady crowd, which I ended up dropping out of school so that I could earn money to support myself. It wasn't until years later I realized that I never expected much out of myself. If you're reading this letter then you figured out what I did much sooner than I did.

Yours Truly,

Roger
