问题     Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology that biology is destiny. According to this ideology, basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes. These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life. Women are the weaker sex-- both physically and emotionally. Thus, they are naturally suited much more so than men, to the performance of domestic duties. A woman’s place, under normal circumstances, is within the protective environment of the home. Nature has determined that women play care-taker roles, such as wife and mother and homemaker. On the other hand men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics, where serious responsibilities must be taken on. Men are to be the providers; women and children are "dependents".
    The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex. It is appropriate for women, not men, to be employed as nurses, social workers, elementary school teachers, household helpers, and clerks and secretaries.  These positions are simply an extension of women’s domestic role. Informal distinctions between "women’s work" and "men’s work" in the labor force, according to the ideology, are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes.
    Finally, the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way. For the human species to survive over time, its members must regularly reproduce. Thus, women must, whether at home or in the labor force, make the most of their physical appearance. So goes the ideology. It is, of course, not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex-defined roles in social life. There is ample evidence that sex roles vary from society to society, and those role differences that do exist are largely learned. But to the degree people actually believe that geology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society, sex-defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.  
Women’s place, some people think, is the protective environment of the home because ______.
选项 A、women can provide better care for the children
B、women are too weak to do any agricultural work at all
C、women are biologically suited to domestic jobs
D、women can not compete with men in any field
答案C
解析 细节题。问及为何女性工作的空间是在具有保护性环境的家庭。由第一段第四句可知：无论在生理上还是心理上，妇女都是弱者。因此，她们最适合作家务事。这样在通常情况下，家庭就成了妇女的活动空间，即C项提供的内容。A项“妇女可以更好地照看孩子”，B项“女性体质弱，不能做任何农活”和C项“妇女在任何领域都不能与男子竞争”的提法都是在“女性在生理上适合做家务”这一思想前提下的种种体现，而不是原因，故不是正确选项。
