Definitely, the second option is the most suitable one : B) Women were taught ladylike accomplishments such as music and sewing. Not only according to the "On Making an Agreeable Marriage" and A Vindication of the Rights of Women plot, even in real life much more earlier than nowadays, women had no rights and votes and simply was not taken seriously and, especially in loyal families, they were taught such craft just in order to become a nice wife to her husband. Even though men did not listen to the woman's opinion they also didn’t want to marry a shallow one, so she must do some things by her hands such as cooking and sewing, and of course sing to entertain her husband after stressful day.
