Answer 1

(B) Fertility determines their status in society.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rachel's infertility increased the envy between them, yet Leah, out of exhibited sympathy for her sister, supplicated that she conceive an offspring.

The Rabbis are sumptuous in their commendation of Rachel, whom they portray as forgiving, and who postponed her advantage and wants in the interest of her sister. Another significant characteristic of Rachel's was the craft of quietness and the capacity to keep privileged insights, a quality that she likewise passed on to her posterity, who were known for their withdrawnness.
