1. Tony is hoping to be selected for the all-county basketball team.

The correct answer is: The Victorian woman existed mostly in the “private sphere.”
In the Victorian era (19th Century), women were considered inferior and subordinate to men, the latter of which were seen as breadwinners who supported their families. In the Victorian era, women "belonged" in the household, and their roles involved childcare, cooking, cleaning, and emotionally supporting their husband and children. Thus, it can be said that the Victorian woman existed mostly in the “private sphere.”
