Answer:

Your answer: 1.) Although most women worked in the clerical and service sectors, as they had done so for decades, the wartime economy opened chances for women in heavy industry and wartime manufacturing factories that had hitherto been reserved for males. 2.) When the war broke out, hasty weddings became the norm, with youngsters marrying their sweethearts before their men left overseas. 3.) They also drove vehicles, repaired planes, worked as laboratory technicians, prepared parachutes, operated radios, studied pictures, flew military planes throughout the nation, tested freshly repaired planes, and even taught anti-aircraft gunners by posing as flying targets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helped :)
