Select:
- Women began working in factories and shipyards, doing jobs previously held by men. ✔
- Women joined the military and did many kinds of jobs to free men for combat duty. ✔
Why the others are incorrect:
- While many women worked in nursing, housekeeping, and clerical jobs, WWII also moved large numbers into industrial and skilled jobs (e.g., riveters, welders), so it’s wrong to say the jobs were mainly limited to those fields.
- Although some countries (notably the Soviet Union) had women in combat roles, most Allied women did not serve in combat; they served in auxiliary and noncombat military roles (nurses, clerical, mechanics, pilots ferrying aircraft, etc.).
