Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
What is needed now is a national educational program for women who seriously want to continue or
resume their education, which they have had to cut short for reasons resulting from having to conform to
the role of the woman. They must of course be willing to commit themselves to its use in a profession. The
federal government should be prepared to provide properly qualified women with tuition fees, plus an
additional subsidy to defray other expenses, such as books, travel, even, if necessary, some household
help. It would permit mothers to use existing educational facilities on a part-time basis and carry on
individual study and research projects at home during the years regular classroom attendance is
impossible. The whole concept of women's education would be regeared from four-year-college to a life
plan under which a woman could continue her education, without conflict with her marriage, her husband

and her children. Women who have matured during the housewife moratorium need education to find their
identity as individual people, not just as "a woman", in society. Their desperate need for education and the
desperate need of the nation for the almost untapped reserves of these women's intelligence and ability in
all professions justify a new, national program especially for married women.

A. they have enough basic education for continuing their education
B. they have already completed their education
C. they already have a profession
D. they can use their education in a profession

B. Professions for women
C. National educational programs
D. The necessity for a special educational program for women

A. Women need education to help their country.
B. Women need education to find their own place in society
C. Women need education to bring their intelligence and ability into the professions.
