Solution

failed
failed

The answer is A: instrumental; expressive.

Explanation:

  • Instrumental Behavior: This term often refers to actions that are goal-oriented and task-focused. Traditionally, sons have been encouraged to engage in instrumental behavior, which includes activities that emphasize independence, assertiveness, and achievement.

  • Expressive Behavior: This term refers to actions that emphasize emotional expressiveness, nurturing, and interpersonal relationships. Daughters have traditionally been encouraged to engage in expressive behavior, focusing on empathy, caring, and communication.

  • Expressive; Instrumental: This option is incorrect because it reverses the traditional roles.

  • Inappropriate; Appropriate: These terms do not accurately describe the traditional gender roles being discussed.

  • Appropriate; Inappropriate: Similarly, these terms do not fit the context of the question regarding traditional gender roles.
