Final answer:
The statement about men's social expectations in the 'Life and Age of Man' and the 'culture of domesticity' is false. Men had defined roles as providers and public figures in the early 1800s, which were significant and socially expected.
Step-by-step explanation:
In response to the statement that there were no significant social expectations placed on men in the 'Life and Age of Man' (1845) and the 'culture of domesticity', the correct answer is B. False. The ideology of the Cult of Domesticity, which took shape in the early 1800s, defined clear and separate roles for men and women. This period saw the rise of the middle class, who adhered to the social expectations of separate spheres, where men were expected to participate in the public world of work and politics, while women were to uphold the private sphere of home and family. Men's roles were indeed significant and socially expected, as they were the presumed providers and public figures who upheld and reinforced these gender divisions.
