Choice A is the best answer. Throughout the passage, Woolf advocates for
more women to engage with existing institutions by joining the workforce:
"We too can leave the house, can mount those steps [to an office], pass in
and out of those doors, . . . make money, administer justice . . ." (lines 30-32).
Woolf tells educated women that they are at a "moment of transition" (line 51)
where they must consider their future role in the workforce.
Choice B is incorrect because even though Woolf mentions women's traditional
roles (lines 68-69: "while they stirred the pot, while they rocked the
cradle"), she does not suggest that women will have to give up these traditional
roles to gain positions of influence.
Choice C is incorrect because though
Woolf wonders how "the procession of the sons of educated men" impacts
women's roles, she does not argue that this male-dominated society has had
grave and continuing effects.
Choice D is incorrect because while Woolf suggests
educated women can hold positions currently held by men, she does not
suggest that women's entry into positions of power will change those positions.
