e. both b and c.

Explanation:

For the first question: The Gilded Age and Progressive Era were defined by industrialization, liberal reform efforts, Christian cultural dominance, and the rise of mass consumption. Gender roles were highly rigid (the "cult of domesticity" was prominent) during this period, so less strictly defined gender roles were not part of the conception of civilization.

For Question 8: "New immigrants" (late 19th/early 20th century) were primarily from Southern/Eastern Europe, poorer than earlier Northern/Western European immigrants, and more likely to be Catholic or Jewish (unlike earlier mostly Protestant immigrants). They were less likely to speak English and faced slower assimilation.

Answer:

1. B. less strictly defined gender roles.
2. E. Both B and C.
