Question

Read this excerpt from “What I Hope to Leave Behind.” If we have known happy homes, we want to reproduce the same type of thing we have had; and even though we may always be critical of some things in our past, time nearly always puts a halo around even a few of the disagreeable things, and most women dream, as they rock their babies or busy themselves in household tasks, that their daughters will do the same things someday. Which statement explains how this excerpt relates to the position of women during Eleanor Roosevelt’s time? Although some women may have raised sons and daughters, they lived during a time when they taught their daughters to work in the home. Although some women had difficult upbringings, they lived during a time when working in the home was their only option. Although some women may have had doubts about working in the home, they lived during a time when doing so was often taken for granted. Although some women had been raised to consider individual careers, they lived during a time when they often opted to work in the home.

Answer 1

C is the answer.

A: Although some women may have raised sons and daughters, they lived during a time when they taught their daughters to work in the home. Wrong - the expectation was for women to both work in the home AND raise children

B: Although some women had difficult upbringings, they lived during a time when working in the home was their only option.  Wrong- these two things aren't really connected. And poor women were/are more likely to be working.

C: Although some women may have had doubts about working in the home, they lived during a time when doing so was often taken for granted. The first part is true (text evidence: "even though we may always be critical of some things in our past, time nearly always puts a halo around even a few of the disagreeable thing"). So is the second part- women only working in the home was (and is) taken for granted, as it was the norm. C is correct.

D: Although some women had been raised to consider individual careers, they lived during a time when they often opted to work in the home. Totally wrong- women were restricted and discouraged from having individual careers so it didn't happen often.
