While Relaxing After Dinner, Pat Hears a Story on the Evening

While relaxing after dinner, Pat hears a story on the evening news indicating that recent research suggests that women are better managers than men. The next program Pat watches after the news is a crime drama in which all the male characters are in positions of authority while the women are in roles that show them supporting the efforts of the male characters. The next day at work, when asked to vote on whether Mary and Jack should be promoted to the position of office manager, Pat is likely to:

A) Vote for Mary but not Jack to be promoted to the position of office manager
B) Vote for Jack but not Mary to be promoted to the position of office manager
C) Vote against both Jack and Mary to be promoted to the position of office managers, so as to not show any gender bias
D) Vote for both Jack and Mary to be promoted to the position of office managers, so as to not show any gender bias
E) Abstain from voting, so as to not show any gender bias
