Answer 2

The two best options are indeed:

A) Nora and Judith deserve more credit than they receive.

D) People who oppress women are not necessarily motivated by a desire to harm them.

Step-by-step explanation:

In both works, "A Doll's House" and "A Room of One's Own", the female characters are treated as if they were inferior. They are forced by society, their husbands, and parents into submission and do not receive the credit they deserve no matter how capable and intelligent they are. They are expected to obey, even if the orders are unfair, and their rights are greatly restricted.

In both excerpts, we notice that the women are harmed somehow. Yet, the people harming them do not know or realize they are doing so. In Nora's case, her tyrant of a husband believes it is his role to govern her every move, even her thoughts. He sees himself as her savior, without whom she would be nothing. As for Judith, her parents are merely accepting societal impositions and passing them on to her.
