In the Following Excerpt from the Second Sex (Evaluating the Evidence

In the following excerpt from The Second Sex (Evaluating the Evidence 29.2) , Simone de Beauvoir offers her views on traditional marriage: "The drama of marriage is not that it does not guarantee the wife the promised happiness-there is no guarantee of happiness-it is that it mutilates her; it dooms her to repetition and routine. The first twenty years of a woman's life are extraordinarily rich; she experiences menstruation, sexuality, marriage, and motherhood; she discovers the world and her destiny. She is mistress of a home at twenty, linked from then on to one man, a child in her arms, now her life is finished forever. Real activity, real work, are the privilege of man: her only occupations are sometimes exhausting but never fulfill her. . ."
In Beauvoir's view,

A) traditional marriage is a kind of death for women.
B) traditional marriage is very satisfying for some women.
C) traditional marriage is the foundation of society.
D) traditional marriage is harder on men than on women.
