Question

read the excerpt from the feminine mystique.

millions of women lived their lives in the image of those pretty pictures of the american suburban housewife, kissing their husbands goodbye in front of the picture window, depositing their stationwagonsful of children at school, and smiling as they ran the new electric waxer over the spotless kitchen floor.

which keywords from the excerpt most relate to the issue of domesticity?

pretty, suburban, picture
kissing, depositing, smiling
housewife, husbands, children
stationwagonsful, school, floor

Explanation:

To determine keywords related to domesticity, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: "pretty, suburban, picture" describe appearance/setting, not domestic roles.
• Option 2: "kissing, depositing, smiling" are actions, not core domesticity - related terms.
• Option 3: "housewife" (domestic role), "husbands" (spouse in domestic unit), "children" (family in domestic setting) directly relate to domesticity.
• Option 4: "stationwagonsful, school, floor" are objects/settings, not core domesticity terms.

Answer:

C. housewife, husbands, children
