Select the correct answer.
Read this excerpt from “House Decoration” by Oscar Wilde:

In these days, we hear ladies boast that they do not wear a dress more than once. In the old days, when dresses were decorated with beautiful designs and worked with exquisite embroidery, ladies rather took a pride in bringing out the garment, wearing it many times, and handing it down to their daughters. This process would, I think, be quite appreciated by a modern husband when called upon to pay his wife’s bills.

Which sentence correctly paraphrases and cites the excerpt?

A.
Modern husbands who are called upon to pay their wives’ bills are not happy that their dresses are decorated with beautiful designs and worked with exquisite embroidery (Wilde).
B.
Fashion was less expensive and more beautiful when women enjoyed wearing a few well-made dresses regularly rather than striving to wear a great variety of clothes (Wilde).
C.
It is better for women to have many dresses that they only wear once than for women to have a few dresses that they have to hand down to their daughters in order to save money (Wilde).
D.
In the old days, when dresses were decorated with beautiful designs and worked with exquisite embroidery, ladies rather took a pride in bringing out the garment, wearing it many times, and handing it down to their daughters (Wilde).

how did world war 2 extend the age of transition

Answers

Answer:

(hope this helps can I please have brainlist (crown)☺️)

Explanation:

By 1944, the home front had begun the transition to peacetime, despite the fact that World War II (1939–45) was still raging elsewhere. In 1943, full industrial and agricultural war production was attained, indicating the potential to satisfy continuous Allied requirements for war materials and food.

While war manufacturing did not halt or stop, it was no longer necessary to place a specific emphasis on war mobilisation. It was up to the military forces on the battlefield to win, and the odds of success were improving as time passed. Despite the fact that some of the heaviest and deadliest conflicts were yet to come, government and business strategists began to plan for calm. When the conflict came to an end.

The US was on the verge of becoming one of the world's superpowers: the economy was booming, the population was rising, and the military was stronger than it had ever been. Americans were eager to enjoy wealth and peace after giving their all in the war effort. The nation's status as a world power would be propelled for the rest of the twentieth century by the legacy of World War II's home front events.
