Answer 1

Selections that apply:
- Title IX has led to increased employment for women.
- There are more women working as corporate executives today.
- More women now work at companies that do business for the government.

Brief explanations:
- Title IX (education nondiscrimination) expanded women’s access to education and training, which has helped increase their participation in the workforce.
- Women’s representation in corporate leadership has increased in recent decades (though they remain underrepresented).
- Government contracting and nondiscrimination/affirmative-action policies, plus broader workforce changes, have contributed to more women working for companies that do business with the government.

Why the others do not apply:
- "All workers are guaranteed equal pay for equal work" is false in practice—laws like the Equal Pay Act exist, but pay gaps and enforcement gaps remain.
- "Pregnant women are guaranteed paid maternity leave" and "All single working mothers have the right to paid family leave" are false in the U.S.; the federal FMLA provides unpaid leave for eligible workers, and paid leave is not universally guaranteed (it depends on employer/state policy).
