Final answer:

The statement cannot be categorized as true or false without specific context. Historical references suggest varied experiences for women during wartime, true influence of the Cult of Domesticity, and the transformative impact of the market revolution and human activities on the environment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement "People feel trapped like they can't get away from it even at home or at a new school" is more of a subjective assertion than an objective fact, therefore, without specific context, it cannot be categorized definitively as true or false. However, based on the references provided, it seems the underlying topic may relate to the historical context of women during wartime, the Cult of Domesticity, urbanization, the market revolution, human environmental impact, and even modern ideas of solitude.

Looking at historical contexts, such as during wartime, women did indeed face significant challenges. While some may have found it difficult to cope with the burdens of war, others adapted and overcame these challenges, showing resilience and capacity for handling home front responsibilities. This suggests that the Exercise 8.3.2's statement claiming many women were incapable of handling the burdens of war should be addressed carefully. It's not entirely true that all women found themselves incapable, as experiences varied widely.

The statement about the Cult of Domesticity (Exercise 3) suggesting that the American middle class used concepts of separate spheres to distinguish themselves from the working class is true. This cultural framework played a significant role in the social dynamics of the time.

In the context of changes brought about by the market revolution (Exercise 11.3.1), it is true that this period brought about a multitude of social and economic changes to the United States.

Finally, regarding human impact on the environment (from the 'There's No Place Like Home' feature), it is true that human activity is transforming our planet's overall environment, and examples abound, such as pollution, deforestation, and climate change.
