Answer 1

The correct answer is: **It makes the audience think about a number of unfair situations hard-working women may face if they are not allowed to keep working good jobs.**Catt uses rhetorical questions not to solicit actual answers, but to prompt her audience to consider the injustice of the scenarios she presents. She paints a picture of the hardships women would face if forced out of their wartime jobs: lower wages, less skilled work, and economic hardship. By posing these situations as questions, she encourages the audience to empathize with these potential struggles and recognize the unfairness of such a fate for women who had proven their capabilities during the war.
