Read the excerpt from "The Revolt of Mother." Her mother scrubbed a dish fiercely. "You ain't found out yet we're women-folks, Nanny Penn," said she. "You ain't seen enough of men-folks yet to. One of these days you'll find it out, an' then you'll know that we know only what men-folks think we do, so far as any use of it goes, an' how we'd ought to reckon men-folks in with Providence, an' not complain of what they do any more than we do of the weather." The excerpt best demonstrates which emerging theme? Society works best when women stay in particular roles and men stay in particular roles and the roles remain separate. Society delegates equal power to both men and women in order to ensure the best outcome for families. Society robs men of equal relationships with women by demanding that men take on superior roles in the family. Society robs women of their power and keeps them subjected to the wills of men even when it's not in their best interest.

"The Revolt of Mother And Other Stories" is actually a book that was written by Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman. And based on the given excerpt above taken from this book, the emerging theme that is being conveyed here is that society robs women their rights and power and keep them only subjected to men's wills, even though this is against their interest. The answer would be the last option.

The answer is Society works best when women stay in particular roles and men stay in particular roles and the roles remain separate. This is because the women can not ask the men anything.
