Question

women were recruited for jobs vital to the war effort on the home front. which is an obstacle they faced?
there were not enough jobs available outside the home.
available jobs were limited to nursing, housekeeping, and clerical work.
the government did not support women joining the workforce in large numbers.
attitudes about the role of women in the workplace needed to change.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "There were not enough jobs available outside the home" is incorrect because during the war, many jobs opened up outside the home for women (e.g., in factories, etc.).
• "Available jobs were limited to nursing, housekeeping, and clerical work" is incorrect as women took on a wide range of jobs during the war, including factory work, etc.
• "The government did not support women joining the workforce in large numbers" is incorrect; in fact, the government encouraged women to work to support the war effort.
• "Attitudes about the role of women in the workplace needed to change" is correct. Traditional attitudes that women should be in domestic roles were an obstacle, and these attitudes had to shift for women to fully participate in the workforce for the war effort.

Answer:

Attitudes about the role of women in the workplace needed to change.
