Read the passage from A Room of One’s Own.Her mind must have been strained and her vitality lowered by the need of opposing this, of disproving that. For here again we come within range of that very interesting and obscure masculine complex which has had so much influence upon the woman's movement; that deep-seated desire, not so much that SHE shall be inferior as that HE shall be superior, which plants him wherever one looks, not only in front of the arts, but barring the way to politics too, even when the risk to himself seems infinitesimal and the suppliant humble and devoted.

A
The author’s use of overstatement exaggerates a well-known fact to emphasize men’s perceived superiority.
B
The author’s use of irony emphasizes that men’s desire to be superior is not an obscure or particularly interesting fact.
C
The author’s use of metaphor makes a creative and colorful comparison to emphasize the idea that men want to be superior.
D
The author’s use of allusion emphasizes that men’s desire to be superior is similar to women’s desire to be part of the women’s movement.
