Answer 1

The statement that accurately compares the social and economic roles that women in Texas and the rest of the U.S. had during both world wars is:

Women served in military auxiliary organizations that took over the work done by soldiers who went to fight overseas.

During both World War I and World War II, women took on significant roles in the workforce, including in the military through auxiliary organizations, to fill the gaps left by men who were deployed. While the other statements touch on different aspects of women's experiences during the wars, they do not encapsulate the broader roles women played in supporting the war effort as effectively as the selected statement.
