Question

read the excerpt from \for the era.\it is obvious, i think, that a robust woman could be more fit for physical labor than a weak man. the choice of occupation would be determined by individual capabilities, and the rewards for equal work should be equal.which best summarizes the excerpts main ideas?○ isnt it obvious that some women are stronger and more fit for certain jobs than some smaller, weaker men, and thus they should be paid the same amount?○ fitness for a particular occupation should be determined by individual capabilities, and pay should be equal regardless of sex.○ women who are more capable than men for certain jobs should be given the opportunity to train for those jobs and should be paid the same as men are.○ both sexes can develop physical characteristics that make them fit for physical labor, and everyone deserves fair pay for a good days work.

Explanation:

The excerpt makes two key points: 1) Occupation suitability should be based on individual capabilities (using the example of a strong woman vs. weak man for physical labor), and 2) Equal work should receive equal rewards. The correct option distills these core ideas without adding extra, unmentioned details like training opportunities or overgeneralizing physical development.

Answer:

Fitness for a particular occupation should be determined by individual capabilities, and pay should be equal regardless of sex.
