Answers
Answer:
(a) This statement is true. The society in which we live gives more importance to the work done by boys instead of the work done by girls.
(b) This statement is false. Our society makes a distinction between boys and girls right from the outset of their growing phase. For example, both are given different toys to play. Girls are usually given dolls and kitchen sets to play with whereas boys are given cars, guns, bat and ball, etc. Girls are made to spend more time in the kitchen to help their mother while boys are more involved in outdoor activities like bringing household things from the market, depositing electricity bills, etc. Boys are usually taught to be tough and serious while girls are asked to behave in a gentle and graceful manner.
(c) This statement is false. A woman who stays at home does all the household activities like washing clothes, sweeping, cleaning, cooking food, and many other jobs to keep the entire house in order.
(d) This statement is true. Despite the fact that women do a lot of work, their work is less valued because they do not get paid for it. It is assumed that household work is something that comes naturally to women
