The statement which best explains the meaning of the excerpt from Betty Friedan's "The Problem That Has No Name" is the following one:

Women no longer have to die in childbirth or do hard housework thanks to twentieth-century advances.

The author mentions science and labor-saving appliances as the twentieth-century advances that would free women from the dangers of childbirth and the illnesses of their grandmothers (the first) and also from drudgery (the latter).

We must rule out the other alternatives because:

- It's not that women's grandmothers gave them diseases; it's just that science hadn't evolved to the point of being able to find a cure for some minor diseases before the advances of twentieth-century advances.

- The author says nothing about women not <em>enjoying</em> childbirth; she only mentions the dangers of it.

- The author does not mention "doctors". In fact, she mentions "science" and "labor-saving appliances". Even if we regard doctors as professionals who prescribe medication (invented by science), the last alternative says nothing about labor-saving appliances.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: Which phrase uses the rhetorical device pathos? Declaration of Independence by Thomas Jefferson (adapted excerpt) We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed with certain fundamental rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it. To institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to most likely affect their safety and happiness. Prudence will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shown, that mankind is more disposed to suffer, while injustices are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
