While most scholarship on women’s employment in the United States recognizes that the Second World War (1939—1945) dramatically changed the role of women in the workforce, these studies also acknowledge that few women remained in manufacturing jobs once men returned from the war. But in agriculture, unlike other industries where women were viewed as temporary workers, women’s employment did not end with the war. Instead, the expansion of agriculture and a steady decrease in the number of male farm workers combined to cause the industry to hire more women in the postwar years. Consequently, the 1950s saw a growing number of women engaged in farm labor, even though rhetoric in the popular media called for the return of women to domestic life.
It can be inferred from the passage that the manufacturing and agricultural sectors in the United States following the Second World War differed in which of the following respects?
A. The rate of expansion in each sector
B. The percentage of employees in each sector who were men
C. The trend in the wages of men employed in each sector
D. The attitude of the popular media toward the employment of women in each sector
E. The extent to which women in each sector were satisfied with their jobs

paraphrasing (summarising the prompt) : WW2 acknowledges few women remained in manufacturing jobs but in agriculture the number of male farm workers reduced and more women were hired as the agriculture sector expanded
It can be inferred from the passage that the manufacturing and agricultural sectors in the United States following the Second World War differed in which of the following respects?
A. The rate of expansion in each sector-- we know that the agricultural sector expanded however we do not know anything about the expansion rate about the manufacturing sector!- wrong!
B. The percentage of employees in each sector who were men- we can infer that the number of men remained the same in the manufacturing sector whereas the number of men decreased in the agriculture sector- correct!
C. The trend in the wages of men employed in each sector- wages is completely out of scope! nothing about wages is even mentioned in the passage!- wrong!
D. The attitude of the popular media toward the employment of women in each sector- attitude is out of scope- there is no mention about attitude anywhere in the passage!- wrong!
E. The extent to which women in each sector were satisfied with their jobs- again job satisfaction is nowhere mentioned in the passage!- wrong!

Correct option is B. Using POE,
Option A: The passage talks about expansion of agriculture industry in the postwar years but nothing is mentioned about the trend in manufacturing jobs. So eliminated.
Option B: Yes this is the correct option. The passage talks about the decrease in male workforce in agriculture causing the industry to hire more female workers. Also mentioned that once men returned from war, few women remained in the manufacturing industry. Keep it !
Option C: Passage mentioned nothing about the wages of men in either sector, so eliminated.
Option D: The attitude of the popular media towards women in agriculture is mentioned in the passage but nothing about its attitude towards women in manufacturing industry. Eliminated.
Option E: No talks about job satisfaction. Eliminated,
