Women participated in the war effort in large numbers, serving mainly in support roles.

Answer: Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Women in America during WW2 proved themselves in supporting the nation as equal as men. They participated and involved in all kinds of businesses even in military too. Women became pilots who ferried the warplanes. In Marines, they served as cooks, clerks, drivers, and mechanics.

Mainly they volunteered themselves in nursing the men who suffered in the battle. They traveled overseas and stayed on the battlefield to help their army men. Though few of them were captured by japan army they never feared and decided to stay there. Later the US navy also appointed women for jobs like communication, medicine, and supply in the ships.
