I was confused between c and e and got it wrong
I opted c since women r getting more opportunities but now that I think of it we r not aware of the range so its wrong but it does say ‘variety of women’s assignments’(line4)
I eliminated e because of the word ‘all’ but I am still not able to understand why it is correct
Hi @user9842
What I think is -
The Question asks - What are the other factors that women were deprived of?
According to the passage -
- Women were previously not given proper rights, but now things are changing.
- They were unlikely to be trained for any combat situations.
- significant portion of society remains uncomfortable.
- then, see, line (13) where it states that equality will be based on functional equivalence, not identity or similarity of the task, which means, they were not provided with all the tasks as equal to men.
And, (E) says that women were prevented from having that privilege, that’s why it is correct.
Even the last line also states that opportunities will definitely rise in non-combat areas, but for other areas/fields, it is uncertain.
And, C is wrong, because I am not being able to find any sort of range or even no evidence for the range was wider or narrower.
Hope you will get it now.
