Answer 2

Question 1--A--music was considered a necessary "accomplishment" for young women well into the nineteenth century.

3. The critics would have used B as their argument. The women who held the salons were intelligent enough to discuss such topics as art, philosophy, and politics, but many felt that their time would be better spent in the traditional pursuits that the Germans usually called (translated into English), "children, church, and kitchen (or, possibly, "cooking")."
