Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement talks about mothers in the labor force, which indicates that the majority of mothers work outside the home. Therefore, option A, stating that a minority of mothers work in the labor force is incorrect. The statement also mentions mothers of preschool children, indicating a subset of all mothers. This group of mothers may have constraints that limit their ability to participate in the labor force. Therefore, option C, stating that most mothers of preschool children participate in the labor force is incorrect. Option B, stating that most mothers work in the labor force, but only a minority of mothers of preschool children work, is partially correct. However, option D, stating that most mothers, including mothers of preschool children, work in the labor force, is the best choice as it accurately reflects the current trend in female labor force participation.
