Can you check the word choice in the following sentences? Thank you.
1) Briefly outline the main values on which Victorian society was based, Refer then to the role of women and the vision (I need a synonym) of the family.
2) Analyse (or outline)the main values on which Victorian society was based referring to the social classes who refined them.
3)Women were in charge of the education of the children and the managing of the house.
Single women with a child were ostracised and emarginated as fallen women.
4) Briefly outline the relationship between man and nature. Provide examples from the authors whose works we studied/read (have read?) in class.
1. Period is needed after "based." Not a comma! The word "refer" is not correct for this type of command. What do you want someone to do: describe, explain, state and explain, what? Instead of "vision," you could use "view"?
2. Analyse and outline are two different things. Which do you want?
3. Wordy and awkward. Try this: Women were in charge of the children's education the the management of the house. Single women with children were ostracised and marginalised as fallen women. [Unless they were widows, of course!]
4. "have read" is better. The rest is fine.
1) Briefly outline the main values upon which Victorian society was based. Then refer to the role of women and the concept of the family.
2) Analyze (or outline) the main values upon which Victorian society was based, considering the social classes that upheld them.
3) Women were responsible for the upbringing of children and the management of the household. Unmarried women with children were condemned and marginalized as fallen women.
4) Briefly describe the connection between human beings and nature. Utilize examples from the authors whose works we have studied/read in class.
1) The word choice in this sentence is mostly fine. However, if you are looking for a synonym for "vision," you could consider using "concept" or "idea" instead.
2) The word choice in this sentence is also fine. However, you might want to consider using "analyze" instead of "outline" if you are planning to provide a more in-depth examination of the main values.
3) The word choice in the first sentence is appropriate. However, you might want to consider using "marginalized" instead of "emarginated" to convey the same meaning.
4) The word choice in this sentence is fine. However, you might want to use "have read" instead of "read" if you are referring to a specific set of authors whose works have been studied in the class.
