Chapter 1: Problem 1

All of the following statements can be used to explain why the question of parental surname is more often raised now than in the past EXCEPT: A. The bias in favor of men was greater in the past. B. In the past, there were fewer divorces. C. In the past, property rights were more important. D. In the past, a change of surname might lead to loss of property. E. Women had fewer legal rights in the past.

Short Answer

Expert verified
Option C is the correct answer, because 'In the past, property rights were more important.' doesn't inherently explain why there's more discussion about parental surname today than in the past.

Step by step solution

01

- Analyse each option

Review each option independently and analyze its relationship to the issue of parental surname being raised more now than in the past.
02

- Compare options with the question context

Check each option whether it can explain the increased debates about the parental surname in the current context. The one option that does not seem to relate or affect the issue directly will be the answer.
03

- Judge the outlier

Each of the options A, B, D, E directly affect the issue of parental surname. However, option C, 'In the past, property rights were more important.' does not directly relate to the issue of parental surname. It's true that property rights were more important in the past, but it doesn't support the argument why parental surname issue is discussed more now. Thus, this is the correct answer.
