16.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.
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.
Women are allowed more freedom today and are not likely to be sacrificed at
the altar of marriage or in a witch hunt.
17. Industrial and automobile pollution have long been thought to
contribute to global warming. However, researchers have identified that
the carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide released into the atmosphere
are not as potent as the methane emitted by cud-chewing animals such
as cows when they fart or belch. Therefore, if you drive a hybrid electric
car to the grocery, any favor that you would do to the environment
would be offset if you end up buying beef.
