The paragraph break should come after the word "smiled" and after the word "answered."
This is because when someone different begins to speak a new paragraph needs to be started so it is clear that it is not the same speaker.
“ . . . Literature cannot be the business of a woman’s life, and it ought not to be. The more she is engaged in her proper duties, the less leisure she will have for it, even as accomplishment and a recreation.

Answer:
Jane Eyre and Charlotte Brontë are alike in that they are trying to gain recognition in a male-dominated society.
Explanation:
The author Charlotte Brontë provides a critique of Victorian England and the social hierarchies that structured society at the time. In Jane Eyre, Brontë used the ambiguity in the position of the governess to show how class standing was a source of tension throughout the book. Jane had the manners and educated background and was sophisticated as Victorian governesses were expected to be because they taught etiquette and academics to the children of elites. However, they were employees and lacked the wealth and were dependent on the families they worked for, much like servants. Women were similarly dependent and discouraged from pursuing the means to be self-sufficient. Jane Eyre's journey allows her to build up skills and to establish herself so she can marry Rochester as an equal. The author writes that "but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts as much as their brothers do," (p 127) an idea that was radical for her time.

They hadn't seen the movie, yet they knew every song.
Here, 'yet' is the conjunction that joins the two parts of the sentence, making it into one. By joining the two clauses, it makes it easier and more compact to read the sentence.
- they hadn't seen the movie, yet they knew every song.
