Answer

Brief Explanations:

In the passage, Mott argues against the double - standard where boys' achievements are publicized but girls' are not. She posits that if women can conduct business and make achievements like men, they should receive similar recognition. For Part A, the lecturer's view is that it is inappropriate for women's names to appear in papers as he sees it as a "gross innovation". For Part B, Mott supports her main argument by stating that women and men should receive similar notice for similar accomplishments.
