Question

describing the role of women in south america
one thing i refuse to do is keep quiet. the women of my generation in latin america have been instructed that the woman should be submissive to the man, even when faced with injustices... now, i understand that we need to speak out about inequalities openly. if we fail to do this we are coconspirators. i will condemn the military government openly and freely without fear.

according to this quote, what was the traditional role of women in argentina?
o to fight as revolutionaries in armies
o to always speak out against male authority
o to keep quiet and stay out of politics
o to act as accomplices to male authority

Explanation:

The quote says "One thing I refuse to do is keep quiet. The women of my generation in Latin America have been instructed that the woman should be submissive to the man...", which implies that the traditional role was to keep quiet. Also, the mention of speaking out now against inequalities (implying it wasn't the case before) and not being coconspirators (which is a new stance, not traditional) supports this. The option "to keep quiet and stay out of politics" aligns with the idea of being submissive (not speaking out, which is related to political - like social stance against injustice) as per the quote's context.

Answer:

to keep quiet and stay out of politics
