Multiple choice

Directions: In the following passage, the opening statement has been deleted. Which of the statements given below the passage, should precede the passage?

You have to admit that the feminist way of thinking is pretty much biased. Today’s woman wants the same rights as man but has no trouble accepting a few favors. At one time, the feminist movement actually might have stood for something - meant something to me as a woman - but (sadly) not anymore. Today's woman has gone from the nurturing, caring mother, to a bitter, resentful woman. Today's woman has labeled all women as victims. By Today's woman's standards, there is only one way to think, and that is their way. They have no problem in playing the helpless female role and taking power over man. Unfortunately, there are too many double standards set by Today's woman, so maybe I'm yesterday’s woman after all, and I am living in Today's World. Maybe I am just a woman who was born in the wrong century. Which of the following statements would precede the first sentence?

  1. Let's look at this: perhaps it is man who is really the victim.

  2. Today’s woman is a study in contradiction.

  3. Today's Woman has more than equal rights and yet she still wants more. She wants to have her cake and eat it too.

  4. Today's Woman is teaching herself to take control over her life, her pursuits.

  5. Today’s feminists are something of an embarrassment to other women like me.
