Why were books burned?

As part of an effort to align German arts and culture with Nazi ideas (Gleichschaltung), university students in college towns across Germany burned thousands of books they considered to be “un-German,” heralding an era of state censorship and cultural control.

Explanation:

I believe the two best options are:

A) Norah and Judith deserve more credit than they receive.

D) People who oppress women are not necessarily motivated by a desire to harm them.

Explanation:

From the excerpts, we can conclude that the female characters are treated as if they were inferior. Their position in society is one of submission, be it to their husbands - as in A Doll's House - or to their parents - as in A Room of One's Own. Norah and Judith do not receive the credit they deserve: they are expected to do as they are told even if it is unfair; on the other hand, they are not allowed to do more than what society whishes them do, even culturally.

We can also note from the excerpts that Norah's husband is a cruel tyrant of a husband. However, Judith's parents are not trying to harm their daughter. Their intentions are good, and they love her; they believe they are raising her to fulfill a certain - proper - role in society.
