Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop du

00:05

jour brought to you by world war two proving once

00:08

again that making a sequel bad idea All right check

00:12

it Falling passage home You know it's been a while

00:16

longer The number of cities after the war which statement

00:25

best summarizes the main idea of this selection and hear

00:28

the potential answers Well the thing keep in mind here

00:35

is that we're looking for the main point of the

00:37

entire passage We gotta focus on the forest here People

00:40

not trees will begin with option a this one's definitely

00:43

more of a tree Then a forest Though the first

00:45

paragraph does touch on the fact that women were treated

00:48

answer That's most wrong This one's not even a tree

01:16

within a forest It's like some deformed cactus in the

01:18

desert beyond the woods The passage never says that women

01:21

were the cause for high male unemployment It just says

01:24

that some people thought women ought to give up their

01:26

jobs Toe unemployed men especially during the great depression No

01:29

chivalrous ghostie is far and away The best answer Well

01:32

the main point of the passages that women kept america

01:34

going by working at traditionally male jobs during world war

01:37

two And since both men and women fighting the military

01:39
