IV. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct

answer.
It has been thought that women are the second class in citizen, and
men are the first. There is not a real equality of opportunity for men and
women. Years ago, people were living in a man-dominated society. Women
had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely. Women's place was in the
kitchen and women's work was housework. In many places, women were not
even' allowed to go to school. Women had no rights, even the right to choose
husband for themselves. Men usually occupied high positions in society so
they thought they were more intelligent than women. Men often considered
women as their property. Sometimes, they were mistreated by their
husbands and suffered the problem as a fate. Many parents did not even
want to daughters.
Despite the progress, there remain outdated beliefs about women's
roles, traditionally passed down from generation to generation. Men are
commonly seen as the strong bodies, bread-winners in the family and key
leaders in society, while women are restricted to being housewives and child
bearing and care, and housework such as washing and cooking.
According to social surveys, many women in the 21st century still have
to work over 12 hours a day including working in offices and doing countless
household chores without any help from their husbands. In some regions, the
labor of women is not recognized despite the hardships they endure to
support the whole family. Moreover, women are the direct victims of family
violence, especially in rural areas.
Thanks to the women's liberation movement, nowadays women have
proved that they are equal to men in every aspect. An average woman has
weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as intelligent as he is.
Women can do everything that men can, and women can do one thing that
no man can: they produce children.
