Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Even though many people are endorsing egalitarian gender roles regarding family and work responsibilities, research shows that behavior hasn't caught up with attitudes because parenting is still gendered among many two-income couples. In professional and managerial jobs, the norm is a 60-hour weekfor both partners. The long work hours intensify gender inequality by reinforcing separate spheres at home and the workplace. When the husband works long hours, his wife is more likely to quit because of child care responsibilities. However, wives' long work hours don't affect men's employment status or child-rearingtasks. This is because cultural expectations and gender ideologies still endorse breadwinning men and homemaking women.
