Question

question 8 of 10
what factors made it easier for women to change in the 1920s?

a. changes in voting patterns meant that the nineteenth
amendment would probably be repealed.

b. changes in the law and social norms gave women greater
opportunity.

c. changes in the law and religious attitudes made it easier for
women to leave home.

d. changes in demographics made it harder for women to find
husbands.

Explanation:

• Option A is incorrect as the Nineteenth Amendment (granting women's suffrage) was not likely to be repealed; it was a major gain for women.
• Option B is correct. In the 1920s, legal changes (like the Nineteenth Amendment) and shifting social norms (e.g., new fashion, increased participation in public life) expanded women's opportunities in work, social roles, etc.
• Option C is incorrect because religious attitudes were not a primary factor driving women's ability to leave home; social and legal changes were more impactful.
• Option D is incorrect as the question asks for factors that made change easier, and this option describes a challenge, not a facilitator.

Answer:

B. Changes in the law and social norms gave women greater opportunity.
