Question

Based on Source 2, which statement best describes a reason why women lost their independence? A Women lost independence when they became teachers. B Women lost independence when they left their father's home. C Women lost independence when they married. D Women lost independence when they went to college.

Answer 1

Answer:

C: Women lost independence when they married.

Explanation:

By process of elimination and common historical knowledge this must be the right answer. Going to college would not have interfered with their autonomy, nor would leaving home or becoming a teacher do the same. Their independence would only have been threatened in the case of C, as there were once both societal and legal burdens to being a married woman.
