Teaching NVS Junior Secretariat Assistant (JSA) Mock Test 2024 English Verbal Ability Reading Comprehension
Comprehension Passage
Read the following passage and answer questions :-
"The unpaid work that women perform includes collection of fuel, fodder and water; animal husbandry, post-harvest processing, livestock maintenance, kitchen gardening and raising poultry that augment family resources. If women did not do this work, these goods would have to be purchased from the market, services hired for a wage, else the family would have to do without. However, so naturalized are assumptions about gender roles that the Indian census did not recognize this as 'work' for a long time, since it is not performed for a wage, but is unpaid labour around the family."
By "naturalized", the author means:
1
consistent with nature.
2
give rights of citizenship.
3
false.
4
made to appear as if something was commonplace and true.
