IV. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the following questions from 14 to 18. (1.25 pt)

Gender equality is an essential goal in modern society, aiming to ensure that both men and women have equal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities. In many countries, significant progress has been made in education and employment. For example, more girls now attend school and pursue higher education than ever before. However, challenges still remain, especially in developing regions where cultural traditions may limit women’s roles.

One important aspect of gender equality is equal pay for equal work. Despite improvements, women in many parts of the world still earn less than men for doing the same job. This inequality not only affects women’s financial independence but also slows down economic growth. Another issue is the unequal distribution of household responsibilities. Women are often expected to do most of the housework, even when they have full-time jobs.

Governments and organizations have taken steps to promote gender equality through laws and awareness campaigns. These efforts aim to change outdated attitudes and encourage people to respect both genders equally. It is important to understand that gender equality benefits everyone, not just women. When both men and women are given equal opportunities, societies become more productive and harmonious.

D. Women avoid higher education
