Direction for Reading Comprehension: The passages given here are followed by somequestions that have four answer choices; read the passage carefully and pick the option whose answer best aligns with the passage
By the mid19th century, mass production of paper patterns, the emergence of the home sewing machine and the convenience of mail order catalogues brought fashionable clothing into the American home. By the early 20th century, home economists working in extension and outreach programmes taught women how to use paper patterns to improve the fit and efficiency of new garments as well as how to update existing ones.
Teachers of home economics traditionally made home sewing a critical part of their curriculum, emphasising selfsufficiency and resourcefulness for young women. However, with the increasing availability of mas produced clothing in catalogues and department stores, more and more women preferred buying garments to making them. As a result,home economists shifted their attention to consumer education.
Through field study, analysis and research, they became experts on the purchase and preservation of ready to wear clothing for the family, offering budgeting instruction targeted at adolescent girls. Modern home sewing made it possible for American women to transcend their economic differences and geographic locations with clothing that was increasingly standardised. The democratisation of fashion continued through the 20th century as the ready-to-wear market expanded and home sewing became more of a pastime than a necessity.
Consider the following meanings of democratisation, as explained in the second paragraph
1.Altering or modifying in a beneficial way.
2.Transitioning to a more democratic political regime.
3.Gradually becoming acceptable for an entire nation.
4.Becoming widely available to a populace.
Which of the following statement is/are correct?
