Answer:

(A) Tell a joke

Explanation:

Not knowing the audience to which the speech is being addressed it is always better to play it safe. Telling a story or a startling statistic or even starting with a question; these are all safe options. They grab the attention of the audience regardless of their age and interests. Starting with a joke is risky as it could either reduce the impact of the speech or even offend the listeners.

At the time Freeman wrote "The Revolt of 'Mother'" women's role in society was very different from that of today. In an essay of
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

In "The Revolt of Mother" Freeman described women's role in the 19th century, when women were the only ones responsible for the household chores and for raising the children. In fact, these were the only things they were supposed to be occupied with as they wouldn't go to school like boys nor would they find a job. Freeman also describes the position of the mother in the family, where she couldn't participate in decision-making which concerned the house and the family including her. All important decisions were taken by the husband and even if the wife disagreed she couldn't do anything about it.

Today, in the Western world, women have gained the right to education and to equal opportunities in employment. Their role in the family has also changed as today the father participates in the household chores as well and he is also responsible for bringing up the children. Nowadays, the women can take important decisions concerning their lives and their families.

However, there some remnants from that era that are still with us today. For example, even if women have gained the right to vote there are still less women in the Parliaments than men. In addition to this, there are plenty of jobs in which they prefer to hire men or where women and men are not equally paid.  Last but not least, many people still believe that women should have a different role in the family than men.

In conclusion, although the position of women has improved a lot since the era of Freeman, there are still many issues to be resolved.

What fear influenced many of Kafka's works, including The Metamorphosis?
fenix001 [56]

The correct answer to this question is:

“That people found him weak and physically inadequate”

In the story, the protagonist Gegore Samsa actually depicts Kafka himself. Kafka's father always used to treat him as if he were garbage (just like Gegore’s father) to the point of making Franz feels like a bug. This made him feel so weak that there is nothing he can do to stop the abuses done to him.
