Analysis of the Statements:
Statement (I):
"A Room of One’s Own is a feminist essay about women’s education, exclusion, and writing by Virginia Woolf."
This is true.
Virginia Woolf's A Room of One’s Own is a seminal feminist essay exploring themes like women's need for financial independence, education, space to write, and the historical exclusion of women from literary and intellectual life.
Statement (II):
"In Other Worlds is a collection of essays written by Edward W. Said on contemporary ideas such as psychoanalysis and social theory."
This is false.
In Other Worlds is not by Edward W. Said but by Margaret Atwood. It is a collection of essays about science fiction, literature, and speculative writing.
Edward W. Said wrote works such as Orientalism and Culture and Imperialism, which focus on postcolonial theory, literature, and social criticism, but he did not write In Other Worlds.
