The above question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Read the passage from A Doll’s House.

Nora: Nurse, I want you to tell me something I have often wondered about—how could you have the heart to put your own child out among strangers?

Nurse: I was obliged to, if I wanted to be little Nora's Nurse.

Nora: Yes, but how could you be willing to do it?

Nurse: What, when I was going to get such a good place by it? A poor girl who has got into trouble should be glad to. Besides, that wicked man didn't do a single thing for me.

Nora: But I suppose your daughter has quite forgotten you.

Nurse: No, indeed she hasn't. She wrote to me when she was confirmed, and when she was married.

How does the author use the character of the nurse to develop the social issue of gender inequality? A. The nurse’s willingness to take care of Nora when Nora was little demonstrates a woman’s ability to do difficult work. B. The nurse’s need to give up a child in order to have a job demonstrates a woman’s inability to support herself. C. The fact that the nurse’s child wrote to her as a young girl and as an adult demonstrates a woman’s ability to keep friends forever. D. The nurse’s assurance to Nora that her children ask for her often demonstrates women’s role in health care."

Answer:

B. The nurse’s need to give up a child in order to have a job demonstrates a woman’s inability to support herself.

Explanation:

The text shown in the above, shows how a woman had to choose to create and participate in her daughter's life, or have a job so that she could support herself, have housing and food that would allow a minimum quality of life.

The text shows the social inequality in relation to women and especially when they were single mothers. This is because, women had few job opportunities and if they had children the bosses believed that the job would not be done correctly. This caused women to make difficult decisions in order to survive.

What two traits does Charles Dickens point out about British society during the Industrial Revolution in this excerpt from Olive
vazorg [7]

The above excerpt from Charles Dickens’ novel “Oliver Twist” point out the following two traits of British society during the industrial revolution.

1.a lack of regard for life among the working class

3. the employment of children for hazardous tasks

Dickens novels reflect the ills of Victorian society which emerged as the byproduct of the Industrial Revolution. The drawbacks of the modern society and Industrialization were great in number. The society got divided based on class and status. The rich became richer and the poor became poorer. Child labor was encouraged especially in the factories to overcome poverty. People became self-centered and uncaring. Urbanization gave birth to an increase in the slum in the cities. Individualism increased which favored self-increment and not on the betterment of the society. Children were not allowed to imagine and live in the world of fancy. They were taught to live with logic and reason. This period saw the downfall of humanity in the history of mankind.

Based on the story of Ursula Le Guin's "The Wife's Story", reread lines 120-131. With a small group, discuss why the wolves kill
miv72 [106K]

In Ursula Le Guin's "The Wife's Story" readers witness how a pack of wolves kill "the human thing".

From the perspective of a mother, one may understand that it was a necessary thing to do rather than the right one. As we can see in the text itself, the "human thing" was behaving in a very aggressive manner, trying to attack and kill his own children with a branch from a tree. Being left with no other choice, wolves, being predators by nature, protected the cubs and killed the attacker thus depriving him of any chances to repeat his violent actions in future.

As humans, we detest murder as a way of punishment or revenge, but in the given story we deal with wolves, and such behaviour is understandable from their perspective, moreover, one can clearly see that this was done only for protection.

What is a central idea of the excerpt of "Paul Revere's Ride"? How does the structure of the poem help to develop this central i
mars1129 [50]
<span>The central idea of this excerpt is that Revere traveled through several towns to spread the word that the British were on their way. It takes us through his actions and the ensuing events as if we are reading it in real time. The structure supports these concepts due to its repetition of the time. It begins the first stanza with "It was twelve by the village clock," then begins the second stanza with "It was one by the village clock," etc. This builds suspense for his ride, and gives us an overview of how long this ride actually took. </span>
