Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Averil Clarke's study found that persistent social inequalities were the reason for the women's singlehood, suggesting that broader societal factors played a role in their relationship status rather than factors specific to each individual woman. Personal choice (A) and a decision to prioritize career over romance (B) were not identified as significant factors in the study. While personal reasons (D) may have played a role for some individuals, the study's focus on social inequalities suggests that this was not the primary cause for the women's singlehood.
