Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It was right for my English quiz. These were the options:

A. to show how conflicts related to parenting can affect the relationship between a husband and wife

B. to show that most women are willing to sacrifice their own happiness to make others happy

C. to show how society’s expectations of women can limit their creativity and intellectual growth

D. to show how important rest and isolation are for women recovering from a destructive mental illness

Hopefully that helps :)
