The correct answers are the following:
Question 1: option A
The fact that the narrator's own physician husband diagnoses her with "temporary nervous depression" indicates at that time women were not taken in a thoughtful manner. Indeed, there were no men with the same condition.
Question 2: option A
In those times, men were the ones who took all the decisions in the domestic establishment. John, the narrator's husband, decides that his wife needs a treatement for her hysterical affection. As a result, there is nothing she can do because nobody considered what women actually thought.
