English, asked by almirza1, 3 months ago

It was a time when all house-work was done by the women or girls of the household. Few

husbands ever dreamt of washing up, preparing breakfast or tending the baby. Such

duties were no concern of theirs. And normal school boy assumed that if help were

needed in the home, his sisters would be called on to give it. The whole family supported

the view that the male child could not or should not clean, mend, wash, cook or make

beds.

Things are very different today. Doctors or barristers find nothing shameful in putting on

an apron to help in the kitchen or nursery and even boast of being good at washing of

clothes and personal linen.

The school boy is more often now than formerly expected to help his mother. One reason

for the change is the shortage of domestic servants. Girls could once be found to do the

hard work in middle and upper class homes for very moderate wages. Such girls

nowadays work in factories. They earn more money than most householders can afford

to pay. Thus the wife now does the househeld work herself with the aid of labour saving

machines; and she expects some help from her husband.​

Find words from the above passage which mean the opposite:-

a) Taking care of
b) took for granted
c) talk proudly​
