Question: 62
3. The support for the author's view about government's role in the changing form of marriage is:
- A. strong: the author provides several examples suggesting government inhibited change.
- B. strong: the author supports his view thoroughly with relevant analogies.
- C. weak: the author's examples do not effectively support the author's view.
- D. weak: the author does not significantly address the government's role.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
A This is an Evaluate question.
A: Yes, paragraph 4 provides numerous examples in which the government tries to manipulate the job market in favor of men.
B: No. The author does not use analogy to support her argument. The only analogy drawn is between the economy and the family (paragraph 1), but there is no direct connection between that comparison and the author's specific discussion of the role of the government.
C: No. The examples in paragraph 4 do directly support the idea that "federal policies supported unemployed male breadwinners but discouraged married women from seeking jobs," and later, "Many state and local governments followed suit."
D: No. The author does address government's role in paragraph 4, on a federal, state, and local level.
