Reading Comprehension (RC) | Re: In colonial Connecticut between 1670 and 1719, women participated in

However, as Cornelia Hughes Dayton notes in Women Before the Bar: Gender, Law, and Society in Connecticut, 1639-1789, these statistics are somewhatdeceptive:

Initially when I read this line, I thought that 'along with CHD, Author of the passage also thinks that stats are deceptive' and explains how stats are deceptive. But, when I did the question#1, I struggled, didnt find the answer, went through the passage again and googled 'as X notes..sentences', and I realized my mistake.

My concern is when another person (other than author of the passage) is mentioned, I really get confused and keep questioning myself that what line is mentioned/said by whom. is there any way to come out of this ?

Any help would be appreciated !

Thanks!
