Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Researchers have determined that men and women differ in helping depending on the situation. More specifically, because the masculine sex role in Western cultures encourages heroism and chivalry, men are more likely than women to help in situations that call for discrete heroic acts (e.g., diving into a river to save a drowning person). Because the feminine sex role in Western cultures encourages nurturing and a focus on commitment, women are more likely than men to help in long-term relationships that demand ongoing commitment (e.g., volunteering in hospitals or nursing homes).
