<p>By the standards of the day,
feminism was very powerful in New York
City at the end of the Second World War
Line in 1945—the phrase “male chauvinist” had
5 already been used there. New York
women were famously independent, and
famously “smart.” Taverns still
sometimes declined to serve them, it was
true, but even that resilient prejudice had
10 been weakened by the pressures of
Prohibition *, and it was many long years
since the actress Lily Langtry, refused ale
and a mutton chop at Keen’s chophouse,
had taken the management to court, and
15 won. Innumerable women’s organizations
sustained this liberty, bolstered the sense
of feminine power, provided cultural uplift,
offered professional support, or fulfilled
charitable leanings. </p>

<p>6 The author of the passage implies which of the following about the term “male chauvinist”?</p>

<p>(A) That it was first used in New York<br>
(B) That it was first used in 1945<br>
(C) That its use was common only among college-educated women<br>
(D) That its use was associated with the Second World War<br>
(E) That its use became common outside New York after 1945 </p>

<p>How is E the answer?</p>

<p>In my opinion, it is correct because the passage states that “the phrase ‘male chauvinist’ had already been used there”, which implies that NYC used the phrase early on, but eventually it would spread out to other places.</p>

<p>Don’t take my word for it though :P</p>

<p>Hmmm ivysaur and folks seemed to be upset about the last one I beat them to, but…

It was already in use in NY in 1945. It’s like a marathon: everybody except the winner crosses the finish line around the same time. The winner, who beat everybody else by 4 hours, says to the other “sorry folks, I’ve already won.”</p>

<p>OK I suck at making up analogies but it’s really not that hard of a problem lol
btw ask me more</p>

<p>Edit: beaten to it.</p>
