	 9a Questão (Ref.: 202013488471)
	"All I could do was to offer you an opinion upon one minor point - a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction; and that, as you will see, leaves the great problem of the true nature of woman and the true nature of fiction unsolved."
Adapted from: WOOLF, Virginia. A Room of One's Own. Edited by David Bradshaw and Stuart N. Clark. West Sussex, UK: Wiley-Blackwell, 2015, p. 3.
Considering the citation, choose the correct alternative:
		
	
	Through literature, Virginia Woolf and Edith Wharton seek to demonstrate that there is a relationship between gender and social class that needs to be addressed.
	
	For Edith Wharton, as well as for Virginia Woolf, if a woman has "a room of one's own", all problems of gender inequality are solved.
	
	Not all women, as we can see in Edith Wharton's stories and Virginia Woolf's text, can devote themselves to fiction.
	
	It is only possible to write fiction under privileged social conditions, regardless of the gender of that who writes.
	
	The beginning of the 20th century seals a greater opening for women in literature, ending definitively all gender differences.

	It's the region in which Huck Finn's memories are, as he needs to get to know his past and move on.
	
	It's where Huck Finn and Jim go rafting in order to reach the Ohio River and get to the free states.
	
	It's the region where the relatives of the author of the novel were born, therefore, it is just a tribute.

	It's the main conflict zone, to where Tom, Huck and Jim head in order to fight for freedom.
