How did the Roman gods and goddesses reflect social roles in Roman society?

Answer

Gods were believed to control trade and commerce, as reflected by men’s role in running their families’ businesses.

Goddesses were believed to control all aspects of the home, as reflected by women’s power in managing the household.

Men and women had different roles in society, as each god and goddess was believed to have unique powers.

Men and women were seen as equal in society, as reflected by the gods and goddesses sharing power over nature.

Explanation

Roman society assigned different roles to men and women, and Roman religion also portrayed its gods and goddesses as having distinct powers and responsibilities. This makes C the best answer. A and B make overly narrow claims about particular social and religious roles, while D incorrectly suggests that Roman men and women were considered equal.
