C is not correct.
During the war, many women got jobs out of the home to replace the men who were in the military. Which other group were hired in large numbers?

White women were hired in large numbers but this is not one of the options. Based on the link you gave me it says Mexicans were pulled into the workforce.
Don’t listen to these dummies like I did, I told myself that it was African American but decided to change my answer to Mexican Americans just to be sure and it winded up being my first choice, African Americans, B.
To determine the group that experienced changes most similar to American women during World War II, let's analyze each option:
a.) Native Americans: While Native Americans did experience some changes during World War II, such as increased opportunities for employment and military service, their experiences may not have been most similar to those of American women.
b.) African Americans: African Americans did undergo significant changes during World War II. They faced increased opportunities in industries that typically excluded them, such as defense factories. Additionally, the wartime experiences of African American women often mirrored those of their white counterparts in terms of entering the workforce in greater numbers.
c.) Japanese Americans: Japanese Americans experienced substantial changes during World War II due to the internment camps, where thousands were unjustly detained. While the internment of Japanese Americans was a significant event, the experiences of American women during this period were more related to their increased roles in the workforce and the war effort.
d.) Mexican Americans: Mexican Americans also experienced notable changes during World War II. Similar to African Americans, they experienced increased employment opportunities in defense industries. However, their experiences were less tied to the women's rights movement and more focused on their contributions to the war effort.
Considering the options, the group that experienced changes most similar to American women during World War II would be b.) African Americans. While all of the provided choices may have encountered changes, the experiences and challenges faced by African American women more closely align with those of American women during that era.
