B. Fitness for a particular occupation should be determined by individual capabilities, and pay should be equal regardless of sex.
Read the excerpt from "For the ERA."
It is obvious, I think, that a robust woman could be
more fit for physical labor than a weak man. The choice
of occupation would be determined by individual
capabilities, and the rewards for equal work should be
equal.
Which best summarizes the excerpt's main ideas?
A. Isn't it obvious that some women are stronger and
more fit for certain jobs than some smaller, weaker
men, and thus they should be paid the same
amount?
B. Fitness for a particular occupation should be
determined by individual capabilities, and pay should
be equal regardless of sex.
C. Women who are more capable than men for certain
jobs should be given the opportunity to train for
those jobs and should be paid the same as men are.
D. Both sexes can develop physical characteristics that
make them fit for physical labor and everyone
deserves fair pay for a good day's work.
