Choose A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage.
Since its birth in the middle of the 19th century, the women's rights movement
has taken root and spread throughout the world. In many countries women have fought
for the right to vote, the right to work, the right to be educated to the limit of their
capacities, the right to own and dispose of property, and for equal rights within
marriage. The cause has penetrated world governments via the United Nations which in
1946 set up a special commission to study the worldwide status of women and make
recommendations to the Social and Economic Council on ways of improving it.
UNESCO too assists in the advancement of women by seeking top involve them in
educational and cultural programmes.
However, with half the world's population still illiterate - most of them women there is great disparity in what has been, and has still to be achieved. At one end of the
scale, women's rights workers are still pressing for elementary education; at the other,
for the removal of early 'protective' legislation which is now felt to be discriminatory
because it denied women certain freedoms: for example, the right to do night work if
they so choose. Nevertheless, despite the fact that the women's movement has
progressed unevenly and with varying success, women in general are emerging from
'chatteldom' and are beginning to take their place beside men as free and equal citizens.
Q28: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The women's rights movement
B. How women won the right to vote
C. The causes of discrimination
D. National organizations for women
Q29: The word “disparity” in the passage probably means …………..
A. justice

A. the right to be involved in work
B. the right to be educated
C. the right to hold property
D. the right to share housework duties
Q31: The word “it” in the passage refers to ………….
A. advancement
B. a special commission
