The following question is about this excerpt from the essay "A Room of One's Own" by Virginia Woolf.
It was disappointing not to have brought back in the evening some important statement, some authentic fact. Women are poorer than men because--this or that. Perhaps now it would be better to give up seeking for the truth, and receiving on one's head an avalanche of opinion hot as lava, discoloured as dish-water. It would be better to draw the curtains; to shut out distractions; to light the lamp; to narrow the enquiry and to ask the historian, who records not opinions but facts, to describe under what conditions women lived, not throughout the ages, but in England, say, in the time of Elizabeth.
For it is a perennial puzzle why no woman wrote a word of that extraordinary literature when every other man, it seemed, was capable of song or sonnet. What were the conditions in which women lived? I asked myself; for fiction, imaginative work that is, is not dropped like a pebble upon the ground, as science may be; fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible; Shakespeare's plays, for instance, seem to hang there complete by themselves. But when the web is pulled askew, hooked up at the edge, torn in the middle, one remembers that these webs are not spun in mid-air by incorporeal creatures, but are the work of suffering human beings, and are attached to grossly material things, like health and money and the houses we live in ...
A very queer, composite being thus emerges. Imaginatively she is of the highest importance; practically she is completely insignificant. She pervades poetry from cover to cover; she is all but absent from history. She dominates the lives of kings and conquerors in fiction; in fact she was the slave of any boy whose parents forced a ring upon her finger. Some of the most inspired words, some of the most profound thoughts in literature fall from her lips; in real life she could hardly read, could scarcely spell, and was the property of her husband.
Which of the following is the best example of an allusion?
"For it is a perennial puzzle"
"for fiction, imaginative work that is, is not dropped like a pebble upon the ground, as science may be"
"in the time of Elizabeth"
"What were the conditions in which women lived?"

More welcome notes to weary bands
Of travellers in some shady haunt,
Among Arabian sands:
A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard
In spring-time from the Cuckoo-bird,
Breaking the silence of the seas
Among the farthest Hebrides2.
Will no one tell me what she sings?--
Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow
For old, unhappy, far-off things,
And battles long ago:
Or is it some more humble lay,
Familiar matter of to-day?
Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain,
That has been, and may be again?

Answer:
yes and no
Explanation:
she knew she was supposed to marry paris but she fell for romeo anyways
Answer:
yes + no
Explanation:
She was a victim of the generational standards e.g. marrying at a young age to a much older man and of the strict rules women had to abide by (and thus the consequences e.g. threaten of being kicked out as women could not hold a job during those times). However, it was her own choice to fall in love with Romeo and to follow him, despite many people like the Nurse telling her not to. Therefore, she was a victim of the standards during those times but was very much guilty of her actions.
Answer:
Natural selection and selective breeding can both cause changes in animals and plants. The difference between the two is that natural selection happens naturally. But selective breeding only occurs when humans intervene. For this reason selective breeding is sometimes called artificial selection.
