Question

j2w3 assessment 25-26
why were sons valued more than daughters in han society?
women could never become the head of households.
sons were expected to make the most money in the family.
women could not rise to positions of power in government.
sons were expected to take care of the parents in their old age.

Explanation:

In Han society, a core value was filial piety, which included the expectation that sons would care for their aging parents. Daughters typically joined their husband's family after marriage, so they were not responsible for their birth parents' care. The other options are incorrect: women could occasionally head households, sons were not solely valued for earning the most money, and while women rarely held government power, this was not the primary reason for sons being favored.

Answer:

Sons were expected to take care of the parents in their old age.
