Read the following passage and answer the questions: (Q. No. 71 to 75)

The family is not a closed community: its isolation is qualified by communications set up with other social units; they have not merely an ‘interior’ within which the couple is shut away; it is also the expression of that couple’s standard of life, its financial status, its taste, and thus the home must need be on view to other people. It is essentially the woman’s part to direct this social life. The man is joined to the community, as producer and citizen, by bonds of an organic solidarity based upon the division of labour; the couple is a social unit, defined by the family, the class, the circle, and the race to which it belongs, attached by bonds of a mechanical solidarity to groups of corresponding social situation; the wife can embody this relation most purely, for the husband’s professional associations are often out of tune with his social standing, whereas the wife, with no occupational demands, can confine herself to the society of her equals. Furthermore she has the leisure to keep up, by ‘paying calls’ and having ‘at-homes’, those relations which are of no practical use and which, of course, are important only in classes whose members are intent upon holding their rank in the social scale – that is to say, who consider themselves superior to certain others. She delights in the display of her ‘interior’, even of her own appearance, which her husband and children do not notice because they are familiar with them. Her social duty, which is to ‘make a good show’, combines with her, and pleasure in letting herself, be seen. She must ‘make a good show’ where she is herself concerned; in the house, attending to her work, she is merely clothed; to go out, to receive, she ‘dresses up’. Formal attire has a double function: it indicates the social standing of the woman (her standard of living, wealth and the social circle), it is also feminine narcissism in concrete form; it is uniform and an adornment; by means of it the woman who is deprived of doing anything fells that she expresses what she is. To care for her beauty, to dress up, is a kind of work that enables her to take possession of her person as she takes possession of her home through housework; her ego then seems chosen and recreated by herself. Social custom furthers this tendency to identify herself with her appearance.
