PLEASE HELP I'M GIVING AWAY 30 POINTS Read this passage from My Antonia by Willa Cather.

The Bohemian and Scandinavian girls could not get positions as teachers, because they had had no opportunity to learn the language. Determined to help in the struggle to clear the homestead from debt, they had no alternative but to go into service. Some of them, after they came to town, remained as serious and as discreet in behaviour as they had been when they ploughed and herded on their father’s farm. Others, like the three Bohemian Marys, tried to make up for the years of youth they had lost. But every one of them did what she had set out to do, and sent home those hard-earned dollars. The girls I knew were always helping to pay for ploughs and reapers, brood-sows, or steers to fatten.

What is the same in the description of the Bohemian Marys and the other girls?

They all went back home to farm as soon as they could.
None of them learned English, so they couldn’t earn any money.
They all got good jobs as teachers because they were so good at school.
They all earned money and sent it home to their families.
