Answer 1

Answer: (D)

They considered women generally inferior to men.

Towards the end of the passage, we come to know that the two men do not think very highly of women. They were of the opinion that women were bringing the dignity of law and education to the dogs. Also, the young lawyer did not pass a glance at the respectable typewriters in the offices of Messrs. Tyler So, we can conclude that they considered women generally inferior to men. Therefore, the correct answer is option D). The other sentences are not true with respect to the passage and so are incorrect answers.
