IS B CORRECT ANSWER ?THANK YOU:)
I disagree with your answer.
What have you learned about this from your text?
TRENDS IN PARTICIPATION: the most dramatic increase occured among woman under six year of age.The motivations of mothers of preschool children vary from financial need to a need for personal satisfaction and achievement.It might appear from this evidence that economic discrimination against woman is diminishing and that woman are increasingly free to enter the labor force even when they have small children at home..The right to equal economic opportunities only begins at the point of gaining employment,however.THAT'S ALL
That paragraph indicates that economic opportunities for women are increasing. Mothers with young children are free to enter the labor market. The implication is that women are likely to accept promotions.
THANK YOU:))))
You're welcome.
Is A she is likely to be working for extra pocket money.
To determine which statement is likely to be true regarding Rashida's labor force participation, let's analyze the given options:
A) She is likely to be working for extra pocket money: This statement assumes that Rashida is working part-time or in a low-paying job solely to earn extra money. However, there is no information in the question that suggests her employment is for additional income. Therefore, this statement cannot be assumed to be true.
B) She is unlikely to remain in the labor force as long as male accountants: This statement suggests that Rashida is less likely to have a long-term career compared to male accountants. We cannot determine this based solely on the information provided. The question does not specify any reason or circumstance that would indicate Rashida's job tenure being shorter than male accountants. Therefore, we cannot assume this statement to be true.
C) She is likely to accept the additional responsibilities of a promotion: The question does not provide any information about Rashida's career progression or if she has expressed interest in accepting promotions. Therefore, we cannot conclude if she is likely to accept additional responsibilities or a promotion.
D) She is likely to take more sick leave than male accountants in her firm: The question does not provide any information about Rashida's sick leave patterns or any differences between male and female accountants in her firm. Without such data, we cannot assume that Rashida is more likely to take sick leave when compared to her male colleagues.
Thus, we cannot determine if any of the statements presented are likely to be true based on the information provided in the question.
