Great! Let's go through your answers and check if they are correct.
#1. Although it does not endorse traditional gender roles, which sociological perspective implies that dividing tasks between spouses is beneficial for the family unit?
Answer: C. Interactionist perspective
Your answer is correct! The interactionist perspective is concerned with how individuals interact and create shared meanings in their everyday lives. While it does not endorse traditional gender roles, it acknowledges that dividing tasks between spouses can be beneficial for the family unit as it allows for the smooth functioning of household responsibilities.
#2. Which perspective is criticized because it does not convincingly explain why men should be categorically assigned to the instrumental role and women to the expressive role?
Answer: 1. Functionalist perspective
Your answer is correct! The functionalist perspective views society as a system of interrelated parts that work together to maintain stability. It argues that men should be assigned instrumental roles (such as breadwinning and decision-making) and women should be assigned expressive roles (such as nurturing and caring for the family). However, it is criticized for not convincingly explaining why these roles should be categorically assigned based on gender.
#3. Which roles in the United States receive higher amounts of rewards in terms of prestige and money?
Answer: 2. Instrumental roles
Your answer is incorrect. The correct answer is 2. Instrumental roles. In the United States, instrumental roles, which are often associated with paid employment and career advancement, generally receive higher amounts of rewards in terms of prestige and money compared to expressive roles, which are typically associated with unpaid caregiving and emotional support.
#4. Which of the following statements about the feminist movement in the United States is true?
Answer: 2. One of the earliest documents written by a United States feminist was A Vindication of the Rights of Women by Mary Wollstonecraft.

#5. Friedrich Engels:
Answer: 1. argued that women’s subjugation coincided with the rise of private property during industrialization

He co-authored "The Communist Manifesto" with Karl Marx and wrote extensively on the social and economic conditions of women during the industrial era.
