Question

Q1. Read the passages given below and answer the questions that follows:-
There was a ume 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,
miend, 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.

(a) Who usually did all house work in the past?
