Read the following passage, then choose the correct answer A. B, C or D.
Women nowadays have more advantages than those in the past. For example, our great
grandmothers were not allowed to go to school or go to work or even choose their own husband. As a result, they had to depend on their husbands. Modern women, on the contrary, can get good education, have their own careers, and pursue their interests. However, women living in our modern society have
their problems, too. Today’s women work harder than their great grandmothers so that they can
gain the balance between working life and family life. Many people predict that by 2032, most
senior positions at work will be taken by women. Then, it is possible that women will have more
strenuous life because, even in a very modern society, the women can’t neglect their role in the
family.
