“It is critical to understand that “same” does not mean “equal.”” What does this statement imply ?

  • A.All men and women are “same” but never “equal”.
  • B.Only men and women who are feminist can be “same” and sometimes “equal”.
  • C.No man or woman can either be “same” or “equal”.
  • D.Men and women are not “same” but can be “equal”.

Answer: D

The statement implies that men and women are not 'same' but can be 'equal'.

The passage separates sameness from equality: women may differ from men, even physically, and yet have equal rights and equal access to opportunities. The example of the weaker, smaller boy shows that a difference in strength is no reason to deny someone equal access in the classroom.

The other options each deny that: 'same but never equal' and 'neither same nor equal' contradict the idea that equality is possible, and 'only feminist men and women can be same and sometimes equal' ties the idea to a label, which the passage never does.
