For question 15, the correct answer is C. Opportunities for women increased.
During WWII, with many men away at war, women had to take up roles traditionally held by men in the workforce. This led to a significant increase in employment opportunities for women. Their contributions to the war effort helped to challenge societal norms and prejudices against women working outside the home.
For question 16, the answer is a bit more nuanced. After the war, the employment situation for women varied. Some women were able to stay in their jobs, but often faced challenges in terms of lower wages and being demoted to lower-paying positions. However, it's also true that some women chose to leave their jobs and return to their traditional roles as homemakers. The exact outcome would depend on individual circumstances and choices.
