Explanation:

1. The option "The men oppose Boadicea without realizing how tough she is" shows the men underestimate Boadicea because she is a woman, which sets up the reveal that women are as capable as men when she fights back.
2. The option "The men's cruel attitude at home makes them misjudge Boadicea" ties their dismissive, cruel behavior to their failure to recognize her capability, reinforcing that women can match men in strength and resolve.

Answer:

• The men oppose Boadicea without realizing how tough she is.
• The men's cruel attitude at home makes them misjudge Boadicea.
