Question Description
Directions: Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to the given question out of the four alternatives.The recent change to all-volunteer armed forces in the United States will eventually produce a gradual increase in the proportion of women in the armed forces and in the variety of women's assignments, but probably not the dramatic gains for women that might have been expected. This is so even though the armed forces operate in an ethos of institutional change oriented toward occupational equality and under the federal sanction of equal pay for equal work. The difficulty is that women are unlikely to be trained for any direct combat operations. A significant portion of the larger society remains uncomfortable as yet with extending equality in this direction. Therefore, for women in the military, the search for equality will still be based on functional equivalence, not identity or even similarity of task. Opportunities seem certain to arise. The growing emphasis on deterrence is bound to offer increasing scope for women to become involved in novel types of non-combat military assignments.Q. The primary purpose of the passage is toa)present the new United States all-volunteer armed forces as a model case of equal employment policies in actionb)present an overview of the different types of assignments available to womenc)analyse reforms in the new United States all-volunteer armed forces necessitated by the increasing number of women in the militaryd)present a reasoned prognosis of the status of women in the new United States all-volunteer armed forcesCorrect answer is option 'D'.
