Answer 2

d. instrumental talk; expressive talk

Step-by-step explanation:

Instrumental talk refers to the type of 'talk' that is aimed to solve a certain problem. Expressive talk on the other hand refers to the type of 'talk' that is aimed to form a close relationship with other people.

Men on the other hands were expected to be in leadership roles, which is why instrumental talk is taught to men since early age.
