Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: Inconsolable crying is not a sign of a paternalistic culture, but is a universal sign of deep grief.
Rationale 2: When a woman belongs to a culture that emphasizes the importance of males, she often sees her main role as an adult as bearing children. A fetal death, particularly of a son, often results in feelings of failure as a woman.
Rationale 3: Inconsolable crying is not a sign of a paternalistic culture, nor is the presence of multiple family members.
Rationale 4: Showing little emotion indicates a stoic culture, which might not be paternalistic.
