To explain this unfinished revolution in the status of women，historians have recently begun to emphasize the way a prevailing definition of femininity often determines the kinds of work allocated to women，even when such allocation is inappropriate to new conditions．For instance，early textile-mill entrepreneurs，in justifying women's employment in wage labor, made much of the assumption that women were by nature skillful at detailed tasks and patient in carrying out repetitive chores；the mill owners thus imported Into the new industrial order hoary stereotypes associated with the homemaking activities they presumed to have been the purview of women．Because women accepted the more unattractive new industrial tasks more readily than did men，such jobs came to be regarded as female jobs．And employers，who assumed that women's＂real" aspirations were for marriage and family lire，declined to pay women wages commensurate with those of men．Thus many lower-skilled，lower-paid，less secure jobs came to be perceived as＂female．"
题目是：Which of the following words best expresses the opinion of the author of the passage concerning the notion that women are more skillful than men in carrying out detailed tasks? （Ａ）＂patient"(1ine 23) （Ｂ）＂repetitive"(1ine 23) （Ｃ）＂hoary＂(1ine 25) （Ｄ）＂ homemaking＂(1ine 26) （Ｅ）"purview"(1ine 27) 选 C 为什么？不太清楚这道题的考点是什么。求教了！ Which of the following words best expresses the opinion of the author of the passage concerning the notion that women are more skillful than men in carrying out detailed tasks? （Ａ）＂patient"(1ine 23) （Ｂ）＂repetitive"(1ine 23) （Ｃ）＂hoary＂(1ine 25) （Ｄ）＂ homemaking＂(1ine 26) （Ｅ）"purview"(1ine 27) 选 C 为什么？不太清楚这道题的考点是什么。求教了！
