Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B, C, or D to each of the questions.

In the late 19th century, the women’s movement occurred in many developed countries. It is said to begin
in Western societies and then quickly spread all over the world.

During the movement, women fought against inequality in education, employment, reproductive rights,
etc. Their uprising was the inevitable result of such a long period of being subdued. The victims of the
temporarily old society were not only women from poor families but also from all the social classes not
permitted to express their own ideas. To these people, life seemed to last endlessly without freedom and
joyfulness. Therefore, their reaction was considered as the revolution in recognizing their contributions
and narrowing the huge gender gap between males and females.

The victory of the feminist movement gave birth for the new era of independence, liberty, and happiness
for all women globally. Since then, women have legally gone to school, chosen their career, and been
admitted to most social institutions and organizations, which had been considered extremely luxurious
things for them. Although gender inequality has been substantially reduced over the past decades, there
are still a few places where women do not have their entitlement, young girl children are completely
illiterate and mature ones cannot work and receive payment as equally as men. How to help them to be
released from the culturally regional oppression is a very tricky situation. However, it is believed that this
issue is going to be resolved soon.
Question 36. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The violent war happened in the late 19th century to gain independence.
B. Women are maltreated in the world.
C. Women life has changed since their feminist movement.
D. Women were the victims of violent behavior.
Question 37. Who were often prevented from expressing their own perspective?
A. Women from poor families and the lower, middle, and upper social status.
B. Women from poor rural families.
C. Women working in social groups.
D. Women in Western countries only.
Question 38. In the past, working for social groups or organizations was ___________.
A. an honor for those having luxurious life B. severely limited for women
C. women’s regular choice D. encouraged by the wealthy
Question 39. According to the passage, what is one of the remaining drawbacks of gender
inequality in a few nations?
A. The low participation rate of women in politics B. The high level of illiterate young girls
C. The decrease in the salary for working women D. The law against reproductive rights
