That man over there says that women need to be into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere.

which 1850s social norm is reflected in the excerpt?
a. the idea that women should be protected from the harsh realities of life
b. the idea that women should always have better accommodations than men
c. the idea that women should not be forced to participate in politics
d. the idea that women should be less sentimental and more practical

The first alternative is correct (A).

The question asks about a social norm practiced in the nineteenth century. At that time, women were treated with low status and considered fragile. Thus, women did not participate in decision-making and were submissive to men. However, because they are considered fragile, women were "protected" by men, ie women should be spared from problems, such as wars etc, and should only care about homes.
