16. Greg and Lydia have been married three years. Both hold executive positions in large corporations and are well respected in their fields. Last January, they were thrilled with the arrival of their first child. Lydia returned to her same position after the birth of their daughter, but she has been surprised to find that..
A. she is viewed as less competent in the work place
B. she is expected to share "baby stories" at board meetings
C. she will need to make-up the time she missed while giving birth to her daughter
D. she will be promoted because maternity
increases competency
i think its C
I disagree.
Well i think this question eliminates B and D... so it could be A then.
Since your class is psychology, I think you're right to choose A.
To find the correct answer to the question, let's analyze the information provided in the paragraph.
The passage mentions that Lydia returned to her same position after the birth of their daughter. However, she has been surprised to find something specific in her workplace.
Option A states that Lydia is viewed as less competent in the workplace. But there is no mention of this in the paragraph.
Option B suggests that she is expected to share "baby stories" at board meetings. Again, there is no mention of this in the paragraph.
Option C states that she will need to make up the time she missed while giving birth to her daughter. This seems plausible as many companies have policies or expectations regarding making up for missed work.
Option D suggests that she will be promoted because maternity increases competency. There is no evidence in the paragraph to support this option.
Considering the information provided, it appears that option C, "she will need to make up the time she missed while giving birth to her daughter," aligns with the information in the paragraph.
