The answer to your question is: C. seen as less important than men and expected to stay quiet.

The correct answer is C.

The Puritans were a religious minority group who believed that the Church of England needed to be purified of the influence of Catholicism.

In the Puritan society women were subordinate and seen as much less important as men. Women married young and they were not allow to posses property, sign contracts or conduct business. Even their children were owned by their husbands. They had to dress modestly, covering their hair and arms. A woman's goal in life was to love, obey and support the interests and will of her husband.

The Puritans believed that women inherited a kind of moral weakness because of the role of Eve in the creation of the original sin.
