Question 13 • CR04258 Sociology

Women make up 52 percent of the voting-age population and are more likely to vote, yet

Answer
A
a woman has never been elected to the U.S. Senate.
B
men dominate the political arena.
C
women dominate the political arena.
D
a woman has never been elected governor of a U.S. state.

Explanation

Women are a majority of the voting-age population and are more likely to vote, but those facts have not meant equal representation in political leadership. Men have historically held most elected offices and continue to dominate the political arena. Women have been elected to both the U.S. Senate and state governorships, so choices A and D are false.
