Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This conclusion is supported by research showing that men hold a disproportionate number of high-paying, prestigious occupations such as CEOs, engineers, and doctors.

Answer: B 
 This conclusion is supported by research showing that men tend to be overrepresented in occupations that involve caretaking, such as doctors, nurses, and social workers.

Answer: A 
 This conclusion is supported by the use of the term "pink collar jobs," which indicates that certain occupations that are typically female-dominated (such as teaching, nursing, and administrative work) are considered less important than traditionally male-dominated jobs.

Answer: None of the above 
 The statement "Women and men are similarly represented in occupations that require a college degree" is not supported by research. While women have made significant gains in higher education, they are still generally underrepresented in traditionally male-dominated fields like science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
