Question 1 • IC English 11 - Deering

How did the roles of women in the 1950s differ from those of modern-day women?

Answer
A
Today, many women have jobs.
B
There have not been significant changes in women’s roles since the 1950s.
C
The women of the 1950s had limited options about their roles in society.
D
Today, women rarely do housework.
E
Today, more women feel that they have the choice between pursuing a career and staying at home to raise their families.

Explanation

Many more women work outside the home today than was typical in the 1950s, so A describes a change. Women in the 1950s often faced stronger social expectations and fewer opportunities, supporting C. Today, women generally have more freedom to choose between a career and staying home to raise a family, which supports E; that does not mean women rarely do housework, so D is not a good choice.
