Question

Amelia Earhart wasn't afraid to break down barriers. In 1928, she was the first woman to fly as a passenger across the Atlantic Ocean. Then, in 1932, she became the first woman to pilot a plane across that ocean. There weren't many female pilots back then, and her actions inspired other women to follow their dreams. This was especially important because there were few career choices available to women at that time. Amelia Earhart has inspired generations of women to do things that had never been done by women before.

A.

B.
proud of their fellow woman
C.
afraid of being drafted into the air force
D.
scared of flying

Answer 1

B. proud of their fellow woman

Her accomplishments "inspired other women" and showed them new possibilities, so many likely felt proud and encouraged rather than jealous or frightened.
