Question 15
Jess: To be a woman in this century is far better than to be a woman in centuries past. Life expectancy for women has - for the first time - surpassed that for men and while only around 20℅ of college students in the late 1800s were women, today, almost 60℅ of college students are women.

Sam: However, women educated in the top-ranked colleges in the country earn only about 70℅ of what their male counterparts earn. Also, studies show that even today, in a number of industries, women are refused top management positions simply because they are women.

Which of the following is Jess most likely to say as a response to Sam?

A. Women today are healthier and live longer than women in the 1800s, who primarily died because of child birth.

B. There are more women at the entry-level jobs of most industries than there are men.

C. Women today are better able to juggle professional and personal lives and a number of them are proving to be successful single mothers.

D. The proportion of women in the judicial and legislative branches of the country is at its highest and the country elected its first woman president recently.

E. Women are allowed more freedom today and are not likely to be sacrificed at the altar of marriage or in a witch hunt.
