View question detailsThe governing concept is that a social revolution changes everyday relationships and institutions, not only governments or property ownership. Reforms affecting women challenged traditional family authority and unequal legal or social arrangements. Measures such as improving women’s legal status, expanding access to education and work, and questioning restrictions within marriage aimed to make family and public life more equal. Therefore option D is correct because such reforms attempted to transform gender relations in both the household and society. Option A describes the opposite of the reformist aim. Option B is too narrow, since social reforms were intended to affect ordinary women as well, and option C would preserve religious control rather than promote broader equality.

View question detailsThe governing concept is balanced historical evaluation: major political changes should be judged by both their achievements and their limitations. After October, the Bolsheviks removed several old privileges, redistributed land, nationalised important economic institutions, and introduced policies that claimed to promote social equality and state planning. At the same time, political authority became increasingly centralised, opposition was restricted, and coercion and repression expanded during conflict and consolidation of power. Option D is correct because it recognises both sides without reducing the Revolution to either complete success or complete failure. Options A, B, and C are absolute or factually false statements that ignore major social, economic, and political changes.
