Answer 1

Both Jacob and Cera will rate traditionally feminine occupations as having a higher status than traditionally masculine occupations.

Option: (C)

Explanation:

• The present-day picture that is commonly seen at all levels of society is that of masculine domination. In most disciplines of work, males are seen to be getting better occupations than females in the same work disciplines.
• This difference in the occupational statuses of men and women seen in the society is majorly due to the notions that are prevalent about the difference in the degree of efficiency of work between the two genders.
