🚀1.

🤔解析：此句信號語為逗號、冒號、“while”、“which”、“that”和“and”。逗號同樣起到劃分意群的作用。冒號的作用為解釋說明，引起下文的並列結構。“while”分句與前半句是並列關係。“which”和“that”引導意群內部的定語從句。“and”則連接從句內部的並列謂語。

🚀🚀2. The increase in the numbers of married women employed outside the home in the twentieth century had less to do with the mechanization of housework and an increase in leisure time for these women than it did with their own economic necessity and with high marriage rates that shrank the available pool of single women workers, previously, in many cases, the only women employers would hire.

🤔解析：此句信號語為“and”、“that”和逗號。由於標點符號較少，增加了分析的難度。首先判斷出固定搭配“less…than”，之後明確兩個“and”分別連接“with”的並列介詞賓語。“that”引導定語從句修飾“marriage rates”。逗號則讓我們清晰地判斷出插入語“previously”、“in many cases”。“the only women…”為“single women workers”的同位語。
